Håvard Origin: When You and I were Young Maggie (52* d) RE: When You and I were Young Maggie 13 Jul 98


Seàn O'Casey used the tune from George W.Johnsons song "When you and I were young Maggie" in his play "The Plough and the Stars" (which I believe is the same one that caused riots among the audience) - changing the title/song to suit the lead character Nora Clitheroe. However, when De Danann (with Mary Black) recorded this song they used the "Nora"-song lyrics, changing only the name Nora back to Maggie (but not singing the original song)
