Annotation:In Old Ballymoe
Tune properties and standard notation
IN OLD BALLYMOE. Irish, Waltz. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A song air, employed as a waltz.
In the County Roscommon in hail storms and rain
As I was crossing the field on me way to the train
I met a fair coleen, says she, did you know
The shortest shortcut into old Ballymoe.
