GUEST,Rachel K	Origins: Micks Sticks - Boyne Water/Boiling Water (51* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Mick Stick - Boyne Water	05 Jul 24
Have enjoyed reading this 15 year old thread over a cup of coffee on a cool winter's morning in Australia. My grandmother was born in St Helens, Lancashire, but her mother was a Gorman from Co. Mayo. Now that I'm about to marry an Irishman I was reminded of this song which we we used to sing as kids: Oh me Uncle Mick he had a big stick And he took it to the slaughter; Sure he killed five thousand Orangemen At the battle of Boiling Water. I never did understand the "Boiling Water" part, so I'm off to look up Boyne Water now, thank you! Meanwhile my Irish fiance has suggested that maybe I should not be humming this song at the kitchen sink anymore ;-)
