I don't know if this is what you're looking for but it's a bit similar... Attributed to O'Donoghue....does anyone have any more info? THE DUBLIN MINSTREL From[C] Dublin[F] streets and roads and down the years Came grea[C]t musicians and balla[G]deers There was a[C] special one, a red-haired[F] minstrel boy And when he[C] passed away, a city[G] mourned its favorite[C] son [Chorus] All[C] around the markets and down the[F] quays The sad[C] news spread to the liber[G]ties The minstrel[C] boy is gone; he'll sing no[F] more, And[G] Luke somehow[C] we know, we'll never see your likes again. He liked to laugh and sing, he loved a jar And his songs rang out in many city bars I walked by the old canal near which he used to live Down Raglan Road I'm sad as he'd so much left to give Now the show is over; the curtain's down A flame no longer burns in Dublin Town While the Liffey flows beneath the Ha'penny Bridge You'll be remembered, Luke, for all your songs and all you did. Cheers, Quokka
