Declan Tom Rush: When You and I Were Young, Maggie (31) RE: Tom Rush: When You and I Were Young, Maggie 20 Mar 08

To get technical De Dannan didn't record the actual song under discussion here. They recorded the lyrics of Seán O Casey's "Nora", which was based on "When you and I were young Maggie", but with different lyrics. To add to the confusion they substituted Maggie for Nora in the song. Still a lovely recording of a related but different song.

I heard "The Queen of Sheba" on the pipes, but not in the De Dannan version which features fiddle and accordeon mostly.
