I intend to use 'Innisvaddie Annie' for a presentation, but I have no information about it at all. Is it Sots or Irish, traditional or recently composed? Any information will be welcomed. A Net search only unearthed a track listing for an English group called LongNote. I have emailed a couple of members of that group (and one has returned as undeliverable) - the page for their album was 1997, so they may have disappeared from the scene. Anyhow, these are the lyrics:
INNISVADDIE ANNIE
Up the winding river In by Innisvaddie Annie's got a baby That hasn't got a daddy
Who the baby's father is Annie wouldn't say But some think that it's Thomas's And some think that it's Shane's
Up the winding river The bonnie little baby Oh it's dandled and it's cuddled close By Innisvaddie Annie
Who the baby's father is Annie wouldn't say But nobody expected it With Annie's quiet ways
Up the winding river The country folk are kind And who the baby's father is I'm sure they don't mind
But, oh the bairn at Annie's breast And the love in Annie's eye It makes me wish with all my heart The bonnie bairn was mine
Up the winding river In by Innisvaddie Annie's got a baby That hasn't got a daddy
Who the baby's father is Annie wouldn't say But nobody expected it With Annie's quiet ways
