Mrrzy Origins: Micks Sticks - Boyne Water/Boiling Water (55* d) RE: Origins: Micks Sticks - Boyne Water/Boiling Water 19 Apr 25


OK, in the Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem's Old Orange Flute, there is the line (describing how the flute wouldn't play for the Catholic Mass but kept coming out with Protestant songs):

Kick the Pope and Boyne Water it freely would sound

My childhood mondegreen was Kick the Pope and Boil Water, and I thought it was a reference to catlicks not using birth control!
