Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dublin in My Tears (Brendan Phelan)
Subject: RE: Dublin in my tears
"Michael Moran" was the real name of "Zosimus", a blind ballad-singer who lived at the end of the 18th C. Wrote, among other things, "The Finding of Moses" - a version of which is still sung.

Not sure abouit "??? Kelly". The "Coombe" is an old area of Dublin, near the Cathedral referred to earlier. Its not something as simple as "John Kelly"....?
