No. 59. Whistle, Daughter, Whistle

I have taken down two variants of this song, and Joyce prints an Irish version under the heading “Cheer up, cheer up. Daughter,” in his Ancient Irish Music (No. 26). The words given me by the singer were a little too free and unconventional to be published without emendation, but the necessary alterations have, nevertheless, been very few and unimportant. The tune is in the Æolian mode.
