GUEST,Gary Martin	Lyr Req: Lady of Loughrea (24)	Lyr Req: Lady of Loughrea	21 Jun 05
Does anybody have the lyrics to the Irish song "Lady of Loughrea"? I had never heard of it until Bridget Fitzgerald asked me about it two days ago. She's learning it from a tape by an unidentified singer given to her by Cathie Ryan about five years ago, but some of the lyrics are unintelligible. Google hasn't been very helpful, though it did find one recording by Colm O'Donnell and a newspaper article from 2002 about a Kerry singer winning an All-Ireland title with that song. I've checked Walton's New Treasury of Irish Songs, vols 1&2, Ossian's Folksongs and Ballads Popular in Ireland, vols 1-3, Soodlum's Irish Ballad Book, The Songs of Elizabeth Cronin, and Peter Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland. Can anybody help?
