Hi everyone,

I'm new to MudCat, though I have had a good read of some threads prior to joining. I'm also fairly new to the folk scene where I live. I have loved folk music since I was a child and my father introduced me to a few of the 70s musicians, but only recently have I started singing it and going to folk clubs.

As St David's Day is fast approaching, and being a proud Welshman, I thought I would inflict the following ballad, in all its historical inaccuracy, about the martial valour of the Welsh on the patient people of Somerset, where I live.

As you can see from the link, I have access to the tune, but I find it very difficult to learn the melody from for a variety of reasons, principally it is too high pitched and I can't work out how to transpose it down. What I would be extremely grateful for is a copy of the sheet music or at least information on where to locate the sheet music. The tune is apparently "Upon St David's Day", which is used in a few other ballads.

Can anyone help?
