I got this at Canberra 2004

I MUST have its name, and the proper notes
I've bluffed a couple of bars, after 3 nights listening I can't hear them clearly.

Thanks
Pat

Sounds to me like it's a version of "The Redhaired Lass."

The Old Schoolmaster

I was singing this to myself the other day and, after getting confused between 2 different B-parts, I realised that this is probably just a version of the fling Johnny Will You Marry Me http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1990. Transposed into C for comparison with the above, it becomes:
