    Can you name this tune?

    My wife handed me an 'assignment' since I'm the resident 'expert' on Scottish music (between me, her, & the cats, yeah, I'll buy that). There's an anthem she wants to plan for our church's Scottish Heritage Sunday, and the tune is simply cited as a Scottish folk song. The text is The Apple Tree, but of course that has nothing to do with anything, it wasn't the original.

    Anyway, for those of you who can read music, not that I'm going to scan it in here, it's in F. (I'll provide an alternate version for you pipers, but you'll have to pretend your pipes can play a high B)

    if a note has a comma after it, it's lower, and if it has an apostrophe, it's the higher.
    Bar lines indicated by '|' and it's pulsed in 3. Assume 8th note values unless otherwise specified.

    In F, the notes of the 1st phrase are:
    C, F A | C'(hold) C' D' D' | C'(long hold) Bb | A G F(hold) G A | Bb A G(hold)

    or in D:
    A, D F# | A'(hold) A' B' B' | A'(long hold) G' | F#' E D E F#' | G' F#' E(hold)

    That ought to be enough to go by, if you might have a clue.

    Anyone? (Bueller?) I probably will have to scan in, won't I?
