The Dolphin

I had this tune going round in my head the other day and sat down and played through the A-part in the key of A but couldn't remember how the rest of it went. I tracked it down on a tune database and realised I'd probably picked it up from Dervish's "Boys Of Sligo" and that it's in the key of G. The setting transcribed here is based on the flute part on that album.

Sounds a bit like Humpty Dumpty to me.
