Subject: Tune Req: Yeats/Colleen Bawn
"Come All You Bold Parnellites" is one of Yeats' later poems. Offhand I can only recall the final lines which are "And Parnell loved his country and Parnell loved a lass"

He says it is to the tune of "The Colleen Bawn". I can only find one reference to this song in a previous thread CLICK

I don't think this refers to the same song.

Does anyone know the tune of "The Colleen Bawn"?
