An old tune a crazy aunt used to sing to us as kids in Ireland,
many many moons ago.
Also am guessing this will be one of the least searched for songs
on UG, but since there's not another version on here, thought I'd
put up how I play it.
Stick a capo on most any fret to bring it in the key for your voice
And as always ...... any mistakes are mine
