We were taught this in a Hibernian Centre workshop the other day, usefully so, because I know the tune only from sessions. The version posted by Brad is virtually identical to that which we were taught.

Truth Revealed

I'd like to cancel my previous post.
I was missleaded by the titles of the tunes New/Old Copperplate, and now i know that the tune posted here is The New Copperplate, and I was searching for "The Old.." which is called "The New C.." at thesession.org
