Thanks so much for this, it's lovely!

For sure, I will do something better for a bass line, this is just a demo, I even suppressed the metronome and piano to keep it minimal.

I want to make a new lyric. The morbid Irishman in me wants to have the singer singing from beyond the grave, regretting that he cannot cross that "ocean" to reunite with his love who still lives. I don't know if there's any version of the traditional song that has it that way, I'd be surprised if not. In any case, it's my party and I'll die if I want to. =8^)

Thanks again for the link and encouragement.
