Thread Name: The Old Head of Dennis
Subject: The Old Head of Dennis
I understand that Thomas Moore used the melody for this Irish air for his song The Meeting of the Waters. I've seen the air as 'The Old Head of Dennis' and as 'The Old Head of Denis'. What's the correct spelling, one n or two?

In a previous thread, Martin Ryan spelled it with one n. (Are you there, Martin? They say you never sleep - is that true?)

Regards,
