Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Maid of Listowel
As sung by John Murphy, noted by Cecil Sharp, published in the Journal (reference above) and recorded by Five Hand Reel. As I've said, no other example of the song seems ever to have been found in oral currency. Distant memory suggests that the tune belonged to the 'Unfortunate Rake' family. No time to post an abc at the moment, but I'll try to get back to it if nobody else manages in the next few days.
