Noreen	Origins: Bunclaudy/Bunclody (51* d)	RE: Origins: Buncaudy/Bunclody	31 Mar 21
Joe, it's not the same song so they should be kept separate, but it seems pretty clear to me (and to others above) that Pretty Saro was based on Bunclody. The DT is the only place I've seen it spelled Buncloudy. It's a town in Co. Wexford, spelled Bunclody. The tunes for Bunclody and Pretty Saro have no connection, it's certain distinctive phrases (not floating verses) which I have only come across in these two songs. The "Freeholder" reference "If I were ... and could write a good hand" etc.
