Earl Gray Lyr Req: Botany Bay + Don't Come Again (9) Botany bay & Don't come again 19 Dec 99


Does anyone know the version of "Botany bay" from Noel McLaughlin? It's not listed in this database (though twenty million other versions are). It's chorus goes like: "Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lives, farewell to your gangways and your gang planks and to hell with your overtime; For the good ship Raggamuffin is laying at the quay, for to take old Pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of Botany bay". And does anyone know the lyrics from the song "Don't come again" the way the German band "Fiddler's Green" does it? The song starts off "The first time that I saw me love, it was at her ball" and the chorus goes like "And the bonny wee lass's answer was to no come again..." Any input would be much appreciated.
