Subject: RE: LyrReq drink no more on road to Sligo
No, I never heard it sung but there is atune to it .I've got one in mind it - along the lines of My Love She lives in Donegal Town which is in PW Joyce's book . I had the words cut out from a newspaper, once ,along with Sigerson's version of The Mountains of Pomeroy but I've since lost the cutting .
Iwill drink no more on the road to sligo/I will turn my sail from its shelving shore/but there's something I'll tell you before I do go /From that dear sweet land I will see nore .
Thanks Martin
