"The Hawthorn Bush"
I was sure this was already here, in some form, but try as I did, in at least three keys, I couldn't find it. It may even be one I submitted myself. Anyway, here it is and if it turns out I've duplicated or triplicated this then I'll move the notes to the earlier transcription...
Yes, with some minor tweaking, it also fits the remit of this ~
