Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees
Jim Dixon`s addition of The Wedding of Larry Magee brings me back to an old man from my area who when drunk only sang this song.
As a child I was always fascinated by a verse which is not included in Jim`s song,

There was eating and drinking as much as please,

And oul wimmin like monkeys came riding on donkeys,

to dance at the wedding of Larry Magee.
