GUEST,Donal	Lyr Req: Rakes of Mallow (other lyrics to tune?) (17)	RE: Lyr Req: Rakes of Mallow (other lyrics to tune?)	10 May 09
I found this comment from Bruce Olson after I sent in the post above. An expurgated copy of the song was given by T. Crofton Crocker in 'Popular Songs of Ireland', 1839, with the tune cited for it as "Sandy lent the man his mull." That tune direction is circular, since the first verse and chorus of the latter are in David Herd's MS, c 1776, (reprinted by Hecht, 'Songs from David Herd's Manuscripts', 1904) with the tune direction "The Rakes of Mallow."
