Steve Gardham Lyr Req: Rocky Road to Dublin 7 verses (5) RE: Lyr Req: Rocky Road to Dublin 7 verses 01 Mar 23

The original sheet music and all of the broadsides only have the usual 5 stanzas. The 2 coaching stanzas I would guess are a later addition. After Clifton other singers took up his songs and it was customary to add new verses so this may have happened with RRTD. See some of the other threads.
