I noted elsewhere a request for this tune. Maybe somebody has already posted it. If so, I couldn't find it. This is the air as I know it. Mind you I can't recall where or when I learned it but I'm fairly sure that what I've put down here is what is sung in and around south Armagh.

Robin Morton's book "Folksongs sung in Ulster" has a version but the tune that is given there is, if I remember rightly, "Villikens". I have never ever heard "The Granemore Hare" sung to the tune of "Villikens", "The Oul' Orange Flute" or"Sweet Betsy from Pike".
