GUEST,Robby	Origin: I'll Tell Me Ma (60* d)	RE: Help: I TELL ME MA	16 Nov 00
Sean, You beat me to it, sort of, about the verse with My Aunt Jane. That video Don has, I made a video recording from a PBS broadcast called Tommy Makem & Friends, with Barley Bree & cherish the Ladies. I wonder if the rendition on Don's is the same as from the broadcast. I actually thought that they had blended two different songs into the same tune, My Aunt Jane & I'll Tell Me Ma. Incidentally, I have a 5-LP set, which includes a number of songs sung by David Hammond and I'll Tell Me Ma (from his Songs of Belfast, according to the jacket) is one of them. Anyway, if I am hearing the record correctly, I believe he sings: "Old Biddy Murray says she'll die, if she doesn't get the fellow with the rovin' eye." Robby, it's night and I am at home, not at work.
