That seems to fit the tune OK, Al ~~ but when would that have been? Before or after Percy French supposedly wrote the words to a traditional tune? Could your grandfather have got the tune he sang for his clog dance to a different set of words from hearing Eileen Oge, rather than vice-versa, is what I am trying to establish. So when, please do you remember his singing it? French's dates were 1854-1920 and his best known songs date from approx turn of 19/20C ~ wiki gives date of Mountains of Mourne as 1896, though doesn't specify a date for this one but it would have been about then. And I imagine your recollections of your grandfather using the tune would have been later than that, if you recall it. Any idea how long he would have been singing it by time you came on the scene?
