 HAVE YOU BEEN AT CARRICK? (A Raib Tú ag an gCarraig). Irish, Slow Air (3/4 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. See also O'Neill's variant "Have You Seen My Valentine?" (from Bunting).  Source for notated version: "Enright" [O'Neill].

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 94, p. 17.  Recorded sources:
