Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tarry Flynn (Shay Healy)
Subject: RE: Lyric req: You're a Rascal, Tarry Flynn.
Johnny McEvoy has a double CD album out with both Tarry Flynn and Nora, along with a bunch of other good songs on it.
When I first heard Nora, I thought Johnny was singing Maggie but was reluctant to sing a love song to someone with that name and so changed it for political reasons (Maggie Thatcher)! Then Seamus Kennedy set me straight on the use of the quite similar words in the play. Actually, I'm sorry I wasn't right---it makes a great story.
