I have the tune in my head but can't remember all the lyrics. I can't find a recording for sale anywhere> Has any one got the lyrics who could paste them here or know where I could purchase a download or an album? Through years of Irish History You've died and you've been named Etc |

(there are more verses. Not sure about the last line. This was a refrain I think.) |

Title The Oxford book of English traditional verse / chosen and edited by Frederick Woods, Published Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1983 The book is in an Australian university library collection but I'm sure other libraries would have a copy. Also I did a Google search on the search terms: Garbutt "Mr Gunman" and there are a few vinyl records available for sale. I had the pleasure of seeing Vin Garbutt perform at a small concert in a pub in Newcastle NSW Australia many decades ago. He was amazingly brilliant. |
