Stardreamer has Waltzing With Bears.

Joe, since you have all her stuff, perhaps you know an address where one can write to order through the mail?

Well, enough of this. Time for a new song. What about Mountains O' Mourn. I learned it from Don McLean's Playin' Favorites album, which is all folk music and blue grass and therefore by far the best of McLean's albums (in my humble opinion). To my surprise (I just checked) it's not in the DT. Here's the bit I can remember.

She lives far away o'er the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with Ivy
And Ollie is waitin' for me.
Yodel-ay-heedlee, yodel-ay-heedlee
Yodel-ay-hee-deedlee-dee.
The day I bid goodbye to Ollie,
That day I will never forget.
For the tears bubbled up from their slumber;
I fancy I see them yet.

. . . /

And she said, "My dear boy, don't forget me,
'Til we meet here again or above."
Yodel &c.

Another pretty song off the same album that also fits our mood here is Mountains of Mourne. That is in the DT.
