Subject: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: J. Ferrell Date: 27 Feb 98 - 02:51 PM Could someone point me toward the tune (chords, midi file, or other) to "Who Threw The Overalls In Mistress Murphy's Chowder"? Thanks! Jeff Ferrell ninshubur@usa.ne |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Susan of DT Date: 27 Feb 98 - 09:36 PM Use the blue search box in the upper right corner and search for "chowder" or some other part of the song in the Digital Tradition database. The tune is included (and downloadable). If my current problem playing the tunes is just my computer, you will be able to hear the tune from the "click here to play" |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Feb 98 - 10:04 PM OK, if I did it right, you should be able to access the tune by pressing CLICK HERE TO PLAY. This is the tune to "Mrs. Murphy's Chowder," and it doesn't seem to fit the lyrics about the overalls in the chowder. Are they one and the same tune, Susan? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Dale Rose Date: 27 Feb 98 - 10:10 PM Well, I checked there earlier, but did not see the "Click here to play". Just now I looked again, to verify my impression~~nope, not there. Maybe you have it on the downloaded version?? You are not alone on not being able to play them anyhow. My old machine is about to collapse, I think. |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Dale Rose Date: 27 Feb 98 - 10:58 PM Hey, I got it working again! (Just don't ask me to fix yours, not unless you want something else to go wrong) Your reply was not there yet when I started mine, Joe~~not the same tune at all. I remember this from long years ago~~perhaps by Bing Crosby? Some of my musician friends do this regularly, with only small variations. |
Subject: Tune Add: WHO THREW THE OVERALLS IN MRS. MURPHY'S. From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Feb 98 - 04:33 AM That's the hint I needed, dale. My Hal Leonard fake book just has the chorus: Who threw the overalls in Mistress Murphy's chowder?" Nobody spoke so he shouted all the louder. It's an Irish trick that's true, but I can lick the Mick that threw The overalls in Mistress Murphy's chowder. Here's the tune: MIDI file: OVERAL~1.MID Timebase: 192 Name: Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder This program is worth the effort of learning it. To download the January 15 MIDItext 98 software and get instructions on how to use it click here ABC format: X:1

Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Relay Date: 16 Mar 99 - 04:50 PM Hello-- You guys are insane, the program worked well, and this is still only the chorus. How about the verse melody? Still in awe, Gary Lehmann |
Subject: Lyr Add: WHO THREW THE OVERALLS IN MRS. MURPHY'S.. From: GUEST,Bill@Herchenroder.com Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:36 PM I was just singing this to myself I was:
Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week ago.
CHO: "Who threw the overalls In Mrs. Murphy's chowder?"
They dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor.

Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: GUEST,Q Date: 05 Feb 03 - 09:36 PM Not credited to the author: George L. Geifer, 1898. Should be Mrs. Murphy, not Mistress. |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: Genie Date: 04 Apr 12 - 01:45 PM What is the abbreviation for "Mistress?" I've always heard the song sung as "... Mistress Murphy's Chowder ..." and I'm pretty sure I first learned the tune from old sheet music that had it as "Mistress" too. Also, I learned it as "Tim Nolan," not "McGinty." Which is/are the original(s)? |
Subject: Who Threw The Overalls In Mistress Murphy's Chowde From: Genie Date: 04 Apr 12 - 01:59 PM The Levy Sheet Music Collection has the title and lyric as "Who Threw ... Mistress Murphy's Chowder?" |
Subject: Edward M. Favor - "Who Threw The Overalls ..." From: Genie Date: 04 Apr 12 - 02:31 PM You can also hear Edward M. Favor's 1901 recording on YouTube and you can make an mp3 from that. I wasn't familiar with Favor, but he was an actor, singer and vaudeville star, who recorded a lot of Tin Pan Alley songs, including many written by Irish American songwriters. Several of his recordings, done on those old cylinders, are posted on YouTube now. |
Subject: RE: Mrs. Murphy Tune? From: GUEST,Lighter Date: 04 Apr 12 - 03:52 PM The United States Catalogue of Copyright Proprietors, 1899, gives Giefer's title as "...Mistress Murphy's..." Which isn't to say that it wasn't pronounced as "missus" from the start. The vast majority of references to the song since then have "Mrs. Murphy." |
