Out Behind the House

I've been meaning to learn this one for a while but never actually got around to it until now. This setting is reasonably close to a version played by Snotty Var (read: It's in the same key) who followed it up with a tune called "Up the Southern Shore"... I might get around to transcribing one someday too!

Since I've only learned this tune recently I can't offer a lot of insight into how to ornament it. That said, I like to play crans on the D in the 8th and 16th bars and play short rolls on the first quarter note in each bar (where possible). Anyway, that's too much reading and not enough playing! Cheers...
