I'm trying to find the tune to an 18th century Dublin song called "The May Bush", if the tune exists. I have the lyrics. It begins:
De night before the first of May Riggy dee di di dum tum de To cut a brave bush we all did agree Riggy dee di di dum tum de We being all in a fighting mood We straight se out for Santry Wood To fetch home a bush or spill de last drop of our blood Riggy dee di di dum tum de
Any help would be appreciated.
