And "The Picture with It's Face Turned Toward's the Wall" and "Why Did they Dig Mother's Grave So Deep?" 1887 would have been the right date for a Skelly composition--consider this--the thematic concept of the song is consistant with Skelly's other stuff--the date is a Skelly appropriate date--I say that 1887 was mis-attributed to D'Arcy by later writers--the Skelly came from then, the D'Arcy was a later parody--

But now, what else do we know of D'Arcy? Inquiring minds want to know!
