ER ... G'day Percustard,

As I (had in fact already) mentioned in the Ned Kelly's Farewell to Greta Thread ... there are two tunes to this song ... Rossa's Farewell ... was set to the collected words by Meredith because the Australian words were clearly based on the the Irish song. Subsequently, the song was collected with the other tune ... related to Irish Eyes ... but not to Rossa's Farewell .... ... oh well - it did sound like a good idea at the time!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
