Copied over from folkinfo where Panny's original question and this thread refresh stemmed from...

OK, Penny has kindly supplied us with the tune as she remembers it and Pip has provided an abc based on a scan (please note that some bars do not quite add up but that is a minor detail we opted not to correct and perhaps caused by our reading of the scan). It's not a tune I recognise. An abc follows:

%%scale 1
X:1

M:4/4
L:1/4

F3 F|D F C F|B, A, G, F|C F F E|F3 F|
D F C F|B, A, G, D|C F F E|(F3 F2)||

Currently this is in our test post should anyone want graphic or MIDI.
