Trad song - my love came to dublin

LisaT · 2014-01-08 15:02:33

I'm trying to find a version of the song 'My Love Came to Dublin'. I heard a version of it in the play The Risen People in the Abbey Theatre recently but as far as I know that's their interpretation and not the original. I have the lyrics but can't find an audio or video to hear what the tune is. Any help in tracking it…

'Oh my love came to Dublin one
Fine summer morning
My love came to Dublin to honour
Me there
And he wore a ribbon around his
Blue bonnet
And I wore a bangle of gold in my hair.'
