The Irish Lass

Source: Bruce McGregor and Christine Hanson - Kissin’ is the Best of A’.
Transcription: Andreas Hallberg
Composer: ?

There’s a lot of slurring in this tune, but I haven’t yet nailed all the slurs so here’s the melody only.

This is my first submission to The Session; I’ve learned many songs from here so I thought it was time to pay back a little :) Hope you enjoy it!

Key is Gmaj

Oops, had put it down as Dmaj. It’s Gmaj of course. Updated it.

Re: The Irish Lass

From various old Scottish collections including the Skye collection. The Irish version is called Ne’er Shall I We’en Her. https://thesession.org/tunes/803
