Thread Name: Irish songs which aren't Irish
Subject: RE: Irish songs which aren't Irish
As it happens I sing many songs which are not Irish, some I wrote
in England, The Reason I Left Mullingar, The Streets of Ennis, and many more.
The most well known of my songs The Sick Note, or Why Paddy's not
at work Today, was also composed in England, but it seems to have
spread worldwide as a traditional Irish song.
Nice to see Seamus Kennedy on this thread, happy New Year my friend.
On my new C.D. is Song for the Mira, not an Irish song but I like it,
the royalties are on the way.
Happy New Year to you all,

Pat.
