How about "Gypsy Woman" -- either the original version by the Impressions (featuring Curtis Mayfield) or the truly fine version by Ry Cooder on his relatively early "The Slide Zone" album? I haven't figured out how to play this one yet. Have had some success with the Chieftains/Cooder version of "The Coast of Malabar" which stayed between my ears until I (think) I hacked it out on the tin whistle. Amen also to "On Raglan Road/Dawning of the Day", which is often a tin whistler's first tune. "She Moved through the Fair" is also right up there.
