DITA quoted Dominic Behan as saying: "Woody Guthrie, the great American folk-singer and ballad-maker, warned us never to take a great song and try to write anither lyric to it. And that's what is so wrong with 'Sean South Of Garryowen'."

Fer goodness sakes, that's almost all Woody Guthrie did, was take great songs and write another lyric to it! I know he evidently wrote A FEW tunes, but most of 'em were preexisting!
