Hello folks. I recently heard Penny Lang sing an Irish sounding song that sounded great and made us laugh. If anyone recognizes it and can point me to lyrics, chords, or even a title that would be great.

Plot synopsis:

Johnny is a good man who wants to marry me. I would marry Johnny, but my father up and said: "I never told your mother this, but Johnny is a son of mine, so he is kin to you."

(that verse is repeated a few times with other boys' names.)

I'm the most unfortunate girl in the town, and my father is the cause; I'm related to every boy in town and cannot find someone to marry. So I told my mother and she said, "He's not the one who sired you, so marry at your will."

Hmm... it seemed funnier with the real lyrics. Anyone?

Thanks, Marion
