The Lass of Carracastle

This tune is attributed to Paddy Sweeney. The title is often confused with George White's Favourite (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/718) due to some shadey liner notes on more than one album.

Flute and whistle players might prefer it in D:

I'm afraid that this can only add to the confusion pointed out by Miss Lonelyhearts!
