Subject: RE: Wheel of Fortune (Dublin City)
Alright, let me try that again.

(bold is downbeat)
As I was a-walking through Dublin City
About the hour of twelve at night
It was there I saw a fair, pretty maiden
Washing her feet by candle light

And that one you know, right? So if my downbeats match yours, then here's the other ones (if I don't run out of angle brackets)

Oh, but tides do be running the whole world over
Why, tis only last June month, I mind that we
Were thinking the call in the breast of the lover
So everlasting as the sea

But there's the same little fishes that swims and spin.
And the same old moon on the cold wet sand
And I no more to she, nor she to me
Than the cool wind passing over my hand

The problem comes from the 3 or 4 eighth notes in various places. They all get sung on the same note as a sort of drone, but if you haven't heard Gordon do it, its pretty hard to imagine. So maybe you should buy the tape/record/CD, Joe. Maybe Sandy will give you a break.
Blessings,
Barbara, who hopes she got ALL the close bolds in this time.
