Sussie, go and look at this thread. There are links in it to yet another discussion.

The original is "The Comber's Whistle" in Scarce Songs 1 at www.erols.com/olsonw. It, in turn, is a slight reworking of the 16th century "The Carman's Whistle".

Thanks for the hint. It's a very long way from Comber's whistle to Oisin's Next market day but I just love reading the old versions to songs.

Hmmm, this is slightly different than the version I have, in which the maid went to Dublin her market to learn...

also known as A Maid Went to Comber (as I believe that previous thread explains)...
