GUEST,Ard Mhacha Tune Req: O'Reilly of County Cavan (25) RE: Tune Req: O'Reilly of County Cavan 06 Nov 02

The song is listed on a Gael-Linn CD, 1975, Triona, [Triona ni Domhnaill] and it is named "As I roved out from the County Cavan", the words are different bit I suspect the tune to be the same.
It is listed in the Sam Henry collection "Songs of the people" under the title"James Reilly", it is described on the CD notes as a beautiful and haunting song, and as I listen to Triona sing I can fully agree, beautiful. Ard Mhacha.
