Subject: The Family Ointment
Hello all you Cat People!
On the LP "The Minstrel from Clare", Willie Clancy sings a comical song called "The Family Ointment". I've tried to transcribe it, but had difficulties hearing what the man was actually singing, especially as English isn't my first language and especially in the fourth verse. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the web, either... If anybody has access to the lyrics, I'd be grateful for any help.
