Thread Name: Lyr/Tune: Maggie
Subject: RE: Tune Req: req. recording or music for 'Maggie
Hi there, Phil Cooper ~~ greetings from Arkansas. Yes, Maggie (the Maura O'Connell version mentioned earlier) is on a later DeDannan compilation as well as Star Spangled Molly. John McCormick did record When You And I Were Young, Maggie, a close but much older relative from 1882. I forget at the moment which albums and CDs it has been recorded on. I'll look them up later.

Branwen, you'll find the sheet music for When You And I Were Young, Maggie at the Library of Congress American Memory Collection. I don't think I have ever seen the sheet music for Maggie ~~ nor have I seen a free download anywhere. Sounds like Áine has that covered anyway.

Also check Benjamin R Tubb's excellent site http://pdmusic.org/ He has the When You And I Were Young, MaggieLyrics Here and the Midi Here So much good stuff at his site that I won't try to explain it, just go there and spend a few hours and you'll see what I mean.
