I got the song from Liam Callen who learned it from Joe Heaney when he was in Seattle. Someone along the way made a few changes:

She said "Play up the Shaskeen Reel"...

'Til I brew up a cup o' tay

Now that I think about it, are those "up" phrases Americanisms?

I'll see if I can find the time to do an ABC of the tune.

It sure is a fun song to sing (and to listen to).

David
