Notes
It's a sort of polka. Richard Thompson (of Guitar,Vocal fame) has recorded it as a guitar instrumental that he calls The Job of Journeywork. (on a CD that comes with a book about the guitar maker Dan Ferrington). However it's not _THE_ job of journeywork at all, which he admits. At first I assumed he'd made it up, but he says he got it in Ireland or at a festival from an Irish musician. It's an odd tune too, modulating to Bminor for the final chord of the A section. There's a triplet in the 3rd bar of the B section that I haven't noted correctly as I'm a novice user of abc2mtex/musictex.
