MRYAN@server1.rtc-athlone.ie Origins: The Brown and the Yellow Ale (19) RE: james joyce yellow ale 04 Dec 96


"The Brown and the Yellow Ale" appears to derive from a Gaelic song which goes under various titles e.g. Cumha an Londobh Bui (Lament? of the yellow blackbird) Thugamar Fein an samhradh linn/ Summer is coming.

Its a long story - but the explanation offered in the DT looks most unlikely.There are some curious translations at work.
