This is a great song and one that I've sung for over 40 years. There are two melodies I've used, one is “Wearing of the Green” and the other isn't. <g>I listened to both melodies in the DT and find that one of the tunes I've used all these years isn't exactly like either of them. I don't know the origin of this melody for “Rising of the Moon,” I learned it by ear from other people, but I'd like to know if the melody is familiar to anyone here.
Thanks,
- Mark
