Ther eis a song which uses this melody whic starts out with., "oh, my name it is nell & the truth I will tell, I come from coote hill which I'll never deny"..

There is another name which is more often given to this this tune in sessions, which I can't remember right now.

Anyway I always liked this little ditty with words or not.
