There’s a flaw here with the abc because the midi file just stops dead on the 2nd bar of the 3rd part. I’ve copied and pasted into concertina.net and it does the same thing strange.
Cherish the Ladies ABC
my software doesn’t like the "2" for the second part ending on its on a new line…. try this for the third part (seems OK in the Tune-a-tron)

Coleman video
I love Michael Coleman’s playing in that 1935 recording. I’ve played a similar setting for years, and one of these days I’ll meet someone else who plays the tune! Several years ago I played "The Pathway To The Well" with John Carty, a quite similar tune.
Cherish the Ladies
I just added the old O’Neill’s version of this tune. I am surprised it wasn’t here already. It is a great version, and it is still shows up in sessions.
Cherish The Ladies, X:5
Piping version of this tune.
Cherish The Ladies, X:6
This version appears in P.W. Joyce’s Old Irish Music and Songs (1909), vol. 1, p. 15, No. 25.
Cherish The Ladies, X:6
This version was "taken down from the playing of Ned Goggin the Glenosheen fiddler", says Joyce.
