I'm on the road right now and I dont have the music handy, but the melody came from a book by John LaBarbera called "Traditional Southern Italian Mandolin and Fiddle." I strongly recommend this book- its only about $15 on amazon and has many great traditional melodies with chords.
@teleavivprod Thanks. Unfortunately, I havent been able to find much information on my mandolin. I pick it up at an antique shop in very rough condition. I had to get several cracks fixed and some of the neck binding replaced. There are no headstock markings, and I can see a place in the soundhole where there used to be a label but its gone. As far as I can tell, its probably Italian made sometime in the 1940's.
Old bowlback mandolins are beautiful instruments and I hope you find a good one.
beautiful! I have the other book, Traditional Northern Italian songs! :) Great I'll get this one too!
