Boab	Irish tunes/songs stolen from english (57* d)	RE: Irish tunes/songs stolen from english	14 Apr 05
"Jock o' Hazeldean" is a child of the Irish "Johnny Hazelgreene" "Come by the Hills" [I first heard it sung by Finbar and Eddie 'way back in the sixties]has Scottish lyrics to an Irish tune. "The Grimsby Boat Disaster" ["three score and Ten"] has been sung so often by Irish artistes that some would claim it for the Emerald Isle. "Dark Lochnagar" was written by Lord Byron. Some melodies and/or lyrics are unmistakeably Irish [or Hollywood mock-Irish!], Scottish, or English. The nearest thing to the Hebridean lilts I have found in the songs of the Japanese islanders. Good Folk music, both trad and contemporary, is an international joy, and mirrors the history and customs of peoples worldwide. Let's just celebrate ALL of it!
