Jim- you are a star!
Tom- I'm not officially on mudcat (squirm) If you could email me the scan at julia at castlebay.net I'd be very grateful

Just for the record, the song appears listed in Norman Hay's Ulster Airs, a collection made by order of the BBC in the 1930's. According to David Byers, a musicologist from Belfast NI, one of Hay's sources was Sam Henry who collected the song in 1936, gives 2 verses but does not name a source (dang)

Maeve- I'll let you have it as soon as I untangle the knots *grin*

Thanks all
