Sam Baxter | Did you See My Man [Roud 2105]

Sam tells us, "I learnt 'Did You See My Man' [Roud 2105] from the singing of Elizabeth Cronin, a traditional singer from Cork. She had a large repertoire of mouth-music or lilting songs, of which this is one, which were often used when people would sing for dancing when no instruments were available (sometimes because they’d been banned by the church). The tune is quite well known in Ireland, more commonly known as 'O’Sulivan’s March'."
