Good morning, Philippa -

Nice idea for a thread...

The first song that came to mind for me was MUIRSHEEN DURKIN... Wishful Boasting ? Lyrics in Mudcat Database, of course.

Another tune which I'm currently trying to track down, entitled (I think): "When the Boys Come Rolling Home" -

Neat chorus:

"There'll be dancing, and romancing,
And nevermore we'll roam!
There'll be rollin' in the hay;
There'll be whisky in the tay,
When the boys come rolling home!"

I found this song on Pat Garvey's CD "Brendan's Voyage", but haven't come across the tune elsewhere...

Good luck with your quest -

Murph
