a)Does anyone know a song about Irish American middle classes? Or what did they listen to late C19th? all sentimental? what about in the 1860s n 70s when sentimental song declined? Did vaudeville comic song appeal to them? or were they trying to get away from that stereotype?
b)what about songs about Irish American domestic servants - have a couple about washerwomen but even though domestic service was largest occupation category of Irish women - I can't seem to find one specific to this job.
if anyone can give me lyrics or help it'd be very much appreciated!
