Can anyone help with the notes for a tune called "Around the world for sport" It was very popular in England a few years ago.

Two versions -6/8 in G and 4/4 in Em- may be found through a search at  J C's Tunefinder, which is the best place to begin looking for tunes.

Copies of two tunes of that title, c 1795 & 1805, are listed in the Irish tune index on my website. Both are 6/8 jigs. www.erols.com/olsonw
