GUEST,Phil Cooper | Origins: History of the Song Danny Boy (48) | RE: give me the history of the song Danny Bo | 28 Jun 00 |
The tune itself "Londonderry Aire" is older than the Danny Boy lyrics. There is a text set to the tune in John Gay's Beggar's Opera from the 18th century. Legend has it the tune came from the Fairies. |
