Creeping Docken
Requested by "Capo", whom I assume is a guitar player, as the only occasion I've ever come across this particular tune is on "McGlynn's Fancy" by Arty McGlynn. It may be here already under a different title - it's one of those tunes where you go "I've heard that", but you never remember where.

Recordings....
I see it's turned up on another 2 recordings - wonder if they got it from Arty ?

Thanks for the post.
I do play guitar, mandolin, and whistle and have worked up the tune on all three. I learnt the tune from Arty's recording. I have also heard Chris Newman play it. I was just wondering how common it was. It works well in a set with Connaugtman's Rambles. Thanks for the post, Kenny.
