Keelaghan's Manta

From 'The Keegan Tunes, Vol. 1'-

No real story here (though maybe a fish story somewhere?), it was the title that caught my attention. Our family name was spelled Kelaghan when we first came to the US, and Keegan being from Monaghan...?!

I've submitted in the original key, but here it is in G:

Hope I got the lead-ins right. Enjoy!

I believe she's from Armagh. Close enough to Monaghan, though.

Monaghan>Armagh

My mistake, I knew that. I'm not sure why I put one and not the other. Must have been the hour...?
