Hi,

More about Moore: Christy's 1969 recording "Paddy on the Road" (with Spanish Lady) was recorded with Dominic Behan in 1969. Behan's standard version of Spanish Lady was recorded in 1959 and copyrighted so it seems clear now why Moore changed the standard version that Behan knew and had already copyrighted.
