Tune The Orphan

I learnt this tune, like so much, from the great anglo concertina player Mandy Murray in Brighton. It's not hard to find great versions of it on the internet. There's a lot of variation in how it finishes: here, I've included an alternative last line which represents another way of thinking about the tune. Maybe you could think of it as a variation, even, just don't play them both the same time through the tune or you'll end up with too many bars! I've notated the whole tune without repeats in order to include more variation, as it's that kind of tune, but it's still essentially AABB.
