JR's polka is the Fiddle's Fakebook, p. 150. Sources listed are Planxty Cold Blow and Rainy Night and Planxty Collection. Nice polka. I used to play it frequently. I'm not sure if it is copyrighted in book, but I could try to tab it over the net if you want. Let me know.

It's in this file on Henrik Norbeck's collection of Irish tunes in ABC notation. Click here to go to the ABC homepage to read about ABC notation and find software to allow printing it as musical notation. I prefer ABC2Win myself. Good Luck on this great tune!
Now available at JC's ABC Tune Finder

Did you get it? Can do it in tadpoles for you if you like. Try playing it with Dennis Murphy's.

And try inserting "Bog down in the Valley O" between the two. That makes for a great dance set.

Don't know that one, where can I find it - or has it another name? (Sorry, yes I know this site is really for songs.)
