Can't believe last comment though asking for Lyrics to the boatman - Tis a tune written about dying a futile death & trading places with the boatman on the river stixx just so you can be closer to the loved ones you will leave behind - right cheery stuff you know
I do not know any lyrics to either tune. But to be sure, I Googled both titles as well as went to Mudcat. No words on either. There are some words to a poem called The Lonesome Boatman but they do not match the tune. "Dunmore" was an old slow reel and "Boatman" was written by Finbar Furey as a tune for the low D whistle. Wish I could be more helpful.
Beautiful job!!!
