Subject: RE: DTStudy: ROLLING HOME to Dear Old England
Anyone have any info on the origin of the melody used for "Rolling Home"?

According to McGrath from Harlow in the "Legend of the Rebel Soldier" thread (which I can't access now) the "Rolling Home" melody is the same is used for "Kevin Barry" and "Shall my Soul Pass through Old Ireland?" Does that include "Bingen on the Rhine"?

Any corroboration?
