    Default Irish Folk Song Help with name.

    Trying to find a old Irish folk song online. Don't know the name of it but it started with a lord calling for his horse to be saddled so he could meet his love who was a gypsy.

    Probably the Planxty version your thinking of with Christy Moore on vocals.

    Yeah i checked that out thanks. I think it sounds better with no music being played. And sung slower.
