I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Fiddler's Green
One I learned from Ti' Acadie (Pam Weeks, Jim Joseph and Bill Olson).
A little info on them here, and a lot of info on them here.
By John Connelly
Rise Up Singing chapter: Seas and Sailors, p.201
Chorus: C G C - / F C G - / F - C - / G - - C
Verses: C - G C / - - F G / F - C G / Am F C G
Chorus:
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green
