GUEST,Tim McShane Dominic Behan again. (39) RE: Dominic Behan again. 02 Dec 11


"Take It Down From The Mast" is not written by Dominic. On his own sleeve notes for his 1957 album "Songs of the IRA" he says;

"TAKE IT DOWN FROM THE MAST: This bitter song was very popular in Dublin after the signing of the treaty in 1921. The song's authorship is unknown; its tune is traditional."
