greetings all

I love this song - known to me as A'Soulin'. I perform it regularly with a bit of 'diddlin' thrown in between chorus and verse. I usually intro it as a pre-Chirstian song for the Samhain/Hallows Eve New Years time, though I wish I knew the older lyrics for the chorus line - "One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all." I could re-do it myself, but haven't gotten around to it and really wish I could find out the original (Assuming, that is, that it actually had non-Chrisitian words.
