(quarter note=72)

Even though this tune is usually credited to Stephen Foster, it is traditional Irish Air called "Ni Cheicim Nios Thu A Mhuirnin"--I Won't See You Anymore, My Dear. Info from Eugene O'Donnell Slow Airs and Set Dances with Mick Moloney Green Linnet # CSIF 1015.

(did i finally get it all right? and in the right place, etc? i sure hope so)
