“Too Young to Marry”

Description

Dance tune with slight lyrics: "I'm my mammy's youngest child (youngest son, darling child), I am my mother's (baby), I'm my mammy's youngest child, I am too young to marry."

Notes

I have to suspect that this is the mnemonic lyric to some well-known fiddle tune. But there is no way to tell *which* tune. - RBW
