Well, indeed inspired by the lack of responses on this I have indeed turned it into a full 2 part tune. I was sure that at least the first bar was from something else but nobody seems to know what.
It needs a name so I am open to ideas:
X:1
T:Gan Ainm
C: Alistair Cassidy
M:6/8
R:jig
K:Bm
|: B2 e dBA | faa fed | Bde dBA | BAB dBA |
B2 e dBA | faa fed | Bde dBA |1 BAB d2 A :|2 BAB d2 e |
|: gfe fed | efe dcB | ~A3 ABd | efa a2 e |
| gfe fed | efe dcB | ~A3 ABd |1 gfe d2 e :|2 afe d2 A ||
It might not all be in B minor but I am sure someone will correct me on that!

Noodling around on the mandolin I started playing this:
X:1
T: ??
M:6/8
K:Bm
B2 e dBA | faa fed | B2 e dBA | BAB dBA |
B2 e dBA | faa fed | B2 e dBA | BAB d2 A :|
It sounds very familiar but I can't figure out where from. Various searches through the Rev's program are coming up blank. Any ideas?

Perhaps you're a composer and you don't know, sir.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim - nice tune but it is definately not the same one.
The second part is just nonsense from my head!
