I first heard this tune many years ago, beautifully sung by Paul Brady against a simple guitar and whistle accompaniment, and fell in love with it immediately. (If anyone can tell me which album that was, or anything more about the song, I'd be very grateful). The lyrics are as wonderful as the tune, including the immortal line "and if it weren't for the alligators, I'd sleep out in the woods". I've since heard versions by Planxty and Martin Simpson, neither of which comes close. The following is just an approximation of the melody as rendered by Brady. Any comments very welcome.
