From Dr. Joyce's Collection, 1873. The air was noted in the County of Limerick, in 18~>3 ; Dr. Joyce considers it, to be a minor-
setting of " Do you remember that night " (see p. 28). The song " Oh, Amber-hair'd Nora" seems to have been associated with,
an air known tinder a similar title and which we have printed on p. 140 of this work.
