It is in the DT at http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=920. I must learn the words one day. I love the melody.

Thanks Barry. BTW, One of my pass times is going over there and browsing and singing along. I wonder how many others do that.

There is a pretty Irish version on Altan's "Island Angel" CD

Barry T, thanks for that link. A very tastefull arrangement of "Bríd Óg Ní Mháille" - musically that is. I'm not too sure of the attempt at anglicisation, though. When you know the original, nothing else ever lives up to it. Annraoi
