Several versions of Otter's Holt can be found at Walshaws' web wide abc index, Click here Wait for the page to load, then use the Edit/find button. You need to be able to read or have a translate program for ABC notation..and change the key to suit yourself. Andy sings in C#minor a lot. It suits his voice.

Whoa...I'm wrong about the song rhythm. Just listened to it again. It's 4/4, but more like a jaunty hornpipe rhythm than the reel. Got the tune right, though.

The rhythm in the reel is the usual 4/4 metre, as opposed to the song's 3/4.

The tune is a reel called "The Otter's Holt." The Irish group The Bothy Band recorded it on their second album, "Old Hag, You Have Killed Me."
