A friend of mine hummed this tune to me the other night, accompanying himself with a really nice guitar part. I have learnt it on the low whistle and we are performing it tonight at a local gathering. It is very familiar to me but I can't remember where I have heard it or the name of the tune.
As we are performing it tonight I would like to know the name of it and any other information you might know. I have tried searching the TUNE's secrtion but to no avail.
It is a lovely Slow Air in Em and has a Scottish feel to it.

One of several "Boat Songs" - other well known ones being the Skye Boat Song ("Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing" etc) and the Banana Boat Song ("Every bunch hide de black tarantula".....)
Thanks a million Kris I knew I could depend on the good ol' yellow board to come up trumps! That's the kind of board I want one that comes up trumps!
Pass the Banana's
Cheers
