Scots fiddler Phoebe Rees has a new video of the Si Kahn song set in Dublin, "The Didin Didin." I can't understand all the lyrics, but it's an interesting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHQTpjhY7vw And the Si Kahn Website has his Songbook available for free viewing. https://sikahn.com/songbook-2/ Lyrics found at https://airplaydirect.com/music/PhoebeRees/song_291802_lyrics.php THE DIDIN DIDIN (Si Kahn) When I was a young girl I used to go around With older girls who’d tell me ‘Bout days in Dublin Town How they did the didin didin They did the didin down They did the didin didin All over Dublin town So my friend Mary Reilly And her friend Sally Brown Took the train from Sligo And went to Dublin Town To do the didin didin To do the didin down To do the didin didin All over Dublin town The taps ran with Guinness The ale was always brown My heart flowed with forgiveness All over Dublin Town And we did the didin didin We did the didin down We did the didn didn All over Dublin Town We sang “Kathleen Mavourneen” “The Star of the County Down” We sang until the morning Flowed through Dublin Town Doing the didin didin Doing the didin down Doing the didin didin All over Dublin town Young girls take warning The years are soon flown Put away your apron Go to Dublin town And do the didin didin Do the didin down Do the didin didin All over Dublin town Doing the didin didin Doing the didin down Doing the didin didin All over Dublin town All over Dublin town
