Hi Folks- I got this tune from the playing of Mick O’Brien on Wooden Flute Obsession 3. Don’t have the original dots from Clancy’s book, so if you see errors please let us know! Not sure about the triplet in the 10th measure. The B Part I have
DFA d3 | ABB d/B/AF Am starting to think it should be
DFA d2A | BBd BAF

57

Clancy played it very much different from this.

He also played a higher version on the whistle by the way: eAA etc

I posted this as Clancy’s Unknown #57 but now just says Clancy’s. How does that happen? Anyway, thanks for notation by Pat Mitchel.

Sorry about that. Thanks for catching it 52Paddy. Not sure how I missed that! I fixed the ABC notation with the two missing bars. My apologies.

From Sean McKeon’s album To the City. Nice version in Ador/Gmaj.
