On reading over recent entries to the favourite Irish Song thread I saw that MtheGM listed this as one of his favourites and as it was to look up the words and origins of this I came into the Cat tonight I thought I might ask how many songs do we know which are basically sung to this tune and of them all which, if any is the original.

My daughter and I sang Les barker's any news of the iceberg to this the other night and she said to me " That's Billy Connoly's" My granny was a cripple in Nashville"

I am thinking of going to a local singaround and only singing songs with the same tune and would appreciate any suggestions
