Thread Name: Lyr Req: Irish Washer Woman
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Irish Washer Woman
When I was a boy I heard it like this;

Did you ever go into an Irishman's shanty
And see your uncle on top of your aunty
A three legged table, a stool to match
A hole in the floor for the chickens to scratch

The tune was so fine when played on a fiddle. The second verse was always played without any accompanyist singing and the tune was not that of the first verse but more lively.
