From Dolores Keane and John Faulkner's recording " Broken Hearted I'll Wander". Follows "The Home Ruler" on the recording. Some of the notes in the transcription reflect the presence of a piper on the recording. I always have a hard time deciding which instrument I'm going to transcribe for.

Duplicate submission

Aw, nuts! This tune's already been submitted. Sorry.

Bill, while you're at it, maybe you could submit that album, "Broken Hearted I'll Wander." I would like to submit it myself, but I don't have it with me right now. It's a great album that deserves a spot on this website.

Crossing the Fence

I've heard that this was written by Brendan McGlinchey. Can anyone verify that?

I found a couple transcriptions of this tune on John Chambers' tune finder.
Both versions cited McGlinchey as the composer. I guess that lends some support to the idea.
