Thread Name: Lyr Req: Night that O'Rafferty's Pig Ran Away
Subject: RE: O'Rafferty's Pig - Could anyone help please?
What can I say.. well maybe lots knowing me..
First off I need to apologise for my awful memory (people laugh when I say it's getting worse day by day.. but it ain't no joke.. Metchosin.. I realise now we've had the conversation before re your pen name before.. How could I forget a stinking whale?.. I should like to put the blame on the pressures of Christmas, but.. heck.. I know what my memory is like.. none existant..
Before getting onto the mega thanks for the lyrics,, I want to say this.. i.e. Father O' Flynn .. the song... If you're in an Irish session then the tune is refered to as "Top of the Old Cork Road".. if you're going to be pedantic about it, the then the tune is actually "Yorkshire Lassies"
That aside.. thanks for the lyrics..
Mick
