G'day again Tunesmith (see .. I can spell ... type? ... well ...?)

I remembered that Sally Sloane'sLovely Nancy, despite its Irish provenance, was on the Martyn Wyndham-Read (et al) Song Links double-CD project of English - Australian related songs. I see that this is because the Copper Family have a version of Adieu My Lovely Nancy that is clearly related to the one that Sally got from Ireland, via her grandmother.

I guess that Sally's version represents what might have arrived in Ireland in the mid 1850s ... and The Holy Ground is what was left of it a century later!
