Sounds like a fragment of "the lark in the morning"

Thanks, sixholes.
But I know and play a 4-part jig with exactly the same name.
Is this just another example of the usual, "different tunes with the same name"?

I think it's The Geese In The Bog.

(Your abc actually works in D Major - the standard key for the tune.)

This is a version of the Lark in the Morning indeed. It is called An Buachaillin Bui (The Fair Boy).

It was recorded by Seamus Ennis and more recently by Harry Bradley.

Nice tune. I believe it deserves a separate post.
