Subject: Lyr Req: Unquiet Grave - Irish Language Version
Wonder if anybody can advise
I heard an Irish language version of 'The Unquiet Grave' (A Ógánaigh an Chraobhaigh) earlier this year sung by Máire Ní Cheileachair - I now have her CD which includes it, but with no printed text or translation - the source is given as 'Journal of the Folk Song Society Vols-23-25 - I'm buggered if I can find it in mine, which is difficult to search

Does anybody know where I can obtain a text and translation for my Irish Child ballads project ?
I could ask Máire or the friend who found the ballad for her, but I would rather not bother then if it is freely available elsewhere

Along with 'The Cherry Tree Carol' it's increased the number of Child Ballads in Irish from the previously thought four to six (with another possible in the pipeline)
Thanks in anticipation
