Nothing Can Sadden Us

I got this version from "O'Neill's Music of Ireland: Over 1000 Fiddle Tunes" by Oak Publications (1976). From the introduction of this edition, the notated grace note figures on the triplet eighth notes are to be played as a roll.

I have seen this tune variously notated such as:

(A/B/) | cdc BcB | ABA Ace | fga edc | c>BB Bed |
c3 BAB | A>BA Ace | fga edc | dBG A2 :|
(e/d/) | cde e2e | efe fga | e>dc cBA | G>AB B2e |
