Tune Help - Soap Fat Man

[Tim Twiss]

I need a hand with this one. If anyone could look at this and see what they make of it. Does the tune look correct as written in Buckley 1868? There must be something the same or close in Ryan's or whatever. I hear ti with D naturals as sort of a modal E minor.

[Tim Twiss]

Ha...I looked in Howe's Omnibus, Ryan's, O'Neills, and all 4 Kerr's.

I looked in what I have too, Tim and could not find anytthing. The only one that comes up is that broadside. The air given on that is the Bould Irishman which I have not found either.

Wes, I posted the 'other' version of lyrics in the other thread...from Harry Pell's Ebony Songster 1864.
