Gulliver Origin: I'll Tell Me Ma (60* d) RE: Origin: I'll Tell Me Ma 18 Aug 09


I don't know why Guest Roy McLean has a bee in his bonnet about the Dubs singing this song. We sang it as kids in Dublin with "Belfast city" while neighbours sang "Dublin city" and even "Galway city". The song doesn't come from Belfast - it was collected in the 19th century in southern England and the oldest collected version has "the Golden city".
