Well, I don't know how to notate it in here, but the one I have says an "Old French Melody Arr. by Gordon Campbell".

In 6/8 time, it starts out on D 8th note(below middle C); (bar) A-1/4; A-1/8; A-1/8; G-1/8; A-1/8 (bar); Bflat dotted 1/4(above middle C); A-1/4; D-1/8(below mid-C); (bar)all 1/8:EFGFEF; (bar)D1/4 dotted with slur to D 1/4, then onto to D 1/8.

Hope that is clearer than mud. If this keeps up I WILL have to learn ABC notation! I would be happy to fax or email this to anyone who might interested.
