TO SEEK FOR THE LAMBS I HAVE SENT MY CHILD. Irish, Air (4/4 time). A Major (Cowdery). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A version of "Boyne Water (1)” printed by collector Wikipedia:George_Petrie_(artist) in his Ancient Music of Ireland (1855). Petrie printed both the Irish and and English translation of the song as sung in Limerick and County Clare:
To seek for the calves
I have sent my child,
But one of them this night
She'll not find;
Turlogh the Strong
Is on the skirt of the wood,
And Peter O'Beary
Beside him;
These have been ever
After the girls,
Nor bridle shall ever
Restrain them;
But if there is law to be had,
On to-morrow it is certain
That I'll make them pay
For my darling.
'Turlogh the Strong', or Turlogh Laidir (O'Brien), referenced in the song was a well-known character in County Tipperary around the year 1770, and the song is thought to date from that time.
