Thread Name: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
Subject: RE: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
It is indeed the same songbook, although mine dates from 1955.

Is it now into a new edition? Do Doyle's still make cod liver oil? Do they still put those amusing ads about "your nerves" into it? I had understood that it was out of print. I got mine by badgering a Newfie to let me photocopy hers which she never lent. It took me years.

The songs have been done by any number of people. Many are verbatim on the CD "Another Time The Songs of Newfoundland". Some, such as Cape St. Mary's and The Badger Drive, are on Stan Rogers "For The Family". Others were done by Ryan's Fancy years ago.
