GUEST,Crazy Eddie Lyr Req: Galbally Farmer (32) RE: Lyr Req: Galbally Farmer 07 May 00


Thanks Frank and Annraoi, I have heard the song "The Bold Tenant Farmer" sung to the same air as "The Galbally Farmer". In fact, I wonder if the Galbally Farmer isn't based on the other one.

Frank, the verses you've supplied agree pretty well with what I can remember of the song, but I seem to remember that the donkey died of old age, and the singer was obliged to assit in butchering it. The ate the donkey, ( which as you can imagine was fairly tough)............ In the last verse, the Farmers old wife dies. The farmer tells the singer to fetch the knife and the cooking pot. This is the last straw, and the singer runs away. Do you have any of these verses?? Thanks, Eddie ;o)
