Weekend of singing, in Killeen's, Luker's, Shannonbridge.
This one came up, no further lyrics other than these.
Our Deirdre remembers this much, from her Mother's singing, 60's.

( Do look in at Luker's, fine Distressed Décór, a treat to behold)

Does your mother come from Kimmage?
Did she bring you up on spinach?
There is a slow boat off to China dig me Jack.
On a sunny day in Galway
you can see right down the hallway
if it wasn’t for the plumbing at the back.

Thanks, Jimmy

Where the three lovely lassies came from?

One and the same, Hrothgar. It's a suburb, just southwest of Dublin. I remember singing a rollicking rendition of "Three Lovely Lasses" with three lovely octogenarian Irish nuns. They were so much fun, but they're all dead now.

I swear I've heard "Does Your Mother Come from Kimmage," but I haven't been able to find it again. I was with thirty Irish Mercy nuns this evening. I wish had thought to ask them. They love it when I ask about old Irish songs.
