From the Spancil Hill thread I am reminded that during the times of the Spanish Armada there was a degree of procreation between the Spanish and locals from the West coast of Ireland. I don;t know the real speelling but my family came from Abbeydawney, somewhere near Tralee. The presence of olive skin and dark eyes in a few members of my otherwise Irish family has prompted some of my parents' generation to refer to the earlier Spanish genes.Apart from Spanish Lady is there any other mention of this in song?
