Here's an Irish tune by Joe Liddy of Leitrim.
My wife and I like to play this with another of his tunes, Palmer's Gate, which is a somewhat common tune in sessions hereabouts...
In case you're wondering, a spinney is a small wood with undergrowth, a copse or thicket....
I came up with a basic chord progression for the backup.. the tune lends itself to lots of variations.
Oh, by the way, this tune can be found in a book of Joe Liddy's tunes, called The Leitrim Fiddler..
Here's a link to an online, abc version -----------> http://www.qmcorp.net/webabc/collections/liddy/index.html
