Mick Bracken posted a tune in Lyr. Req: The Hat My Father Wore, which reminds me of The Lass of Swansea Town as sung by Phil Tanner and later Mike Waterson. On Gary Gillards Watersons site, he says that The Lass of Swansea Town is based on an Irish song The Blooming Rose of Antrim.

A Google search finds the lyrics, but no tune, on Mudcatter Susanne (skw)'s website with the alternate title of The Flower Of Corby's Mill as sung by Kevin Mitchell ("Another song from the Inishowen tradition").

Anybody know if Kevin uses the Tanner/Waterson tune, the Johnny Paterson tune or an entirely different one? Have the words and music appeared in print anywhere?

WassaiL! V
