"Tom Mhic's No. 2" ~ based on the playing of Brendan Begley
This transcription, in order to offer some other options, varies from the basic take on the tune by Brendan Begley in bars 5 & 6 of the A-part and 5 - 8 of the B-part. Begley's basic take has the same final 2 bars, 7 - 8, in agreement, as the ending for both parts...

This is another tune that is very familiar and that I was surprised I hadn't found on site here. So, if you do find it, let me know and I'll mover this information to the earlier submission...

This is a great early tune for beginners, in its most basic form, but let's not fall into that trap of ignorance of mistaking that polkas are only for beginning and beginners...
