I am trying to find lyrics to some songs that are usually played as airs - I'm pretty sure they were all songs sometime but have been unsuccesful in finding wordsNed of the Hills also known as Captain Carswel (highland pipe tune)
The Coolin - (Joyce says this is a bastardisation of the Irish "An Chuilfhoinn" but gives no other information about the song)
The Blackbird and his Mate
The Brown Thorned Bush/An Draighnean Donn (Irish and/or English lyrics)
If you know anything of the history of these airs - that would also be appreciated
Any help would be welcome Thanks
