Peggy Thought She's Marry

This tune is from a tutor "How to Play the Globe Accordion" arranged by James Morrison which was published probably in the 1920s. The AA part is similar to Paddy Taylor. Hughor

Martin Mulvihill played this tune on one of his fiddle tutor tapes as the Kerry Mills (Hills?) and I believe it's already here as Maggie's Lilt.

His A bars 1, 2 and 5, 6 are:
AB (3cBA f2f2|AB (3cBA f2 fa|

sometimes playing the c more as tied gracenote than part of a triplet.

B 1, 2 and 5, 6:
a2 ba f2f2|afba f2 fa|

Otherwise very close to here.

I have a sheetmusic copy that is hand-written just like his tunebook but I don't see it in the book.
