Lighter	Origin: Riley's Daughter / Reilly's Daughter (52* d)	RE: Origin: Riley's Daughter / Reilly's Daughter	16 Aug 23
The Clancy Bros. & Tommy Makem popularized a bowdlerized version (as "Reilly's Daughter") on their LP "A Spontaneous Performance Recording!" (Columbia CS8448) in 1961. It includes a stanza of how "The colonel and the major and the captain sought her." The same version, with two or three words different, had been recorded (as"The One Eyed Riley”) by Robert Irwin & Wynford Reynold’s Sextet in H.M.V. B9523 [UK] in 1947. On the flip side was “The Oyster Girl," essentially as sung later by Oscar Brand.
