Hi all,
I know the lyrics and have known them for a long time. Some verses are spurious .. I know of one added by Jimmie McGregor ... but that's not really the point of my question. I am trying to find out if any Gaelic scholar agrees/disagrees with the theory that the original chorus could have been just the sound the horse and the cockeral make in childrens'rhymes and the Gaelic chorus posted is 'new'.
