This appears on Mary Macnamars’s Blackberry Blossom alongside Shandon Bells. It’s a nice tune which oddly I can’t find a transcription for anywhere. So here is a version in D major. I believe she plays lower it in Gmaj.

You can read the notes and listen to her playing the tune in a set on this page: http://www.www.marymacnamara.com/disc3.html

Billy McComiskey wrote this tune circa 1970. Ask him about about this tune and he will tell you the story behind it.
