Anybody here bought the sheet music off Ebay today for £33? Wow, it must have meant a lot to them! I was tempted at £15 But £33? It's a Concanen cover in good nick and as such can be worth a lot to collectors. The song appears in several collections of traditional singers and Muckram Wakes used to sing it.

The same seller has just put on 'The Merman' which also appears in traditional collections, but this has some spotting so might not appeal to cover collectors although it also is Concanen artwork.
