Thread Name: Lyr Req: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
Subject: RE: help need lyrics
I don't think "Irish Eyes" is in the database. I had to look around quite a bit to find it, and I finally discovered you can get it at Jen's Lyric Underground in New Zealand. You have to request it, and then I think it comes back to you by e-mail.
By the way, the featured song at Jen's this week is "Old Man Atom," with lyrics kindly donated by Oldtimer, who says it was recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers. I thought that song was moderately radical, the kind of song that would get you blacklisted in the 50's. the only recording of the song that I've heard was by Sam Hinton, who DID get blacklisted.
Hmmm. Seems like I've heard that name "Oldtimer" somewhere before....
