At the moment it's not ringing any bells, but maybe if we get the ABC notation right others will be able to source this one. ABC notation is a great shorthand for traditional music and well worth the bother of learning, and easy, especially for anyone already seeped in this music. Here are some online helps:

There are also a slew of folks on site her always willing to help...

B ge B ge ba c# d'e'd'a
F'e'd'b'a'f'e' d'baf BB
