I LOVE this song. Does anyone know if it can be downloaded from anywhere? I can't find it anywhere!
I know this was a while ago, and I should have seen this before.
This was one of my Dad's favourites.....I've heard him sing it many times.
It is an old traditional tune, both as a song and instrumental. It shows up at many family sessions.
It is usually known as "Phil the fluter's ball" without the superfluous 'h'.
For musicians, it is on
www.thesession.org in many forms, showing the piano music, chords etc.
I don't know if this link will work but you can search it on the website, then go to "tunes" and "search":
