He often sang this song to us when we were children in the 1950s. I now have his old school music book from the early 1900s, called "Songs of our Land" - a selection of Irish melodies. It has all three verses of the song There's a dear liittle plant.... It is in the key of A, is written in tonic sol fa and features two part harmony. Incidentally, the book cost one penny!! And that was old money! My dad (born 1899) in Belfast moved to England in 1923. He often sang this song to us when we were children in the 1950s.
