    Hi Guys ,

    This might be in the completely wrong place but I need to know the words of the song - for a 96 year old woman . Some how with her dementia she sings this line and then forgets the rest .. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Line is -
    'In the garden by the roses where we met - Minuet , lingers yet '


    Or could you point me in the right direction of places that may be able to help . Thank you :-)

    Thanks a million . Will look it up - I am not sure as she said it was her mothers favourite song and she died pre 1930's . Will have to try and get more information . Thank you .

    I'd be inclines to contact the Irish Traditional Music Archive www.itma.ie

    If it's that old they might have it.
