Thread Name: Lyr Req: Delaney's Donkey (William Hargreaves)
Subject: Delaney's Donkey
Hi, this is my first time here.

Can anyone give me the lyrics for a song, presumably Irish or Irish American, possibly Newfoundland, called Delaney's Donkey. It begins, "Oh Delaney had a donkey that everyone admired/ Temporarily lazy and permanently tired . ."

It was done in the seventies by an eastern Canadian folk band called Ryan's Fancy but the album is long out of print.

Also if it is copyright I'd like the details of that.

Thanks.
