OK so this isn't a Polka but it was the only way I could get the 2/4 time signature to come up. The tune is composed by Turlough O'Carolan and features on Garry Ó Briain's album Carolan's Dream.
I've entered it fairly unadorned but there are lots of opportunities for embellishment.

I see it is written as Mrs. Cole on some recordings (i.e. with the full stop) so it may not show up all recorded versions of it.

Also, apologies for the low notes but it was written by a harpist. You can just about hit them on a guitar, otherwise it'll require a bit of transposing.
