medievallassie Lyr Req: Dan O'Hara (38) RE: Lyr Req: Dan O'Hara 24 Jun 21

Brendan Nolan sings a lovely version of this song as well as the others mentioned above. In his CD notes, as well as on his lyrics page of his website BrendanNolan.com, he mentions our good friend Jim Flanagan who is an academic from County Cork who told a slightly different version of the Dan O'Hara story that he had gotten from the museum there..8 children, three died and his wife on the passage over, and 20 acres of land. Whatever the "true" facts are about this man's story, it is an amazing tale of sadness and spunk that is very, very Irish. I love this song and plan to add it to my new song sets very soon. As always, I came to this amazing site to get all the answers such as who wrote it so I can pass along the history accurately. I LOVE YOU MUDCAT!!!
