G'day all,

I can't pick this up from my 'traced' threads, but I seem to remember a long discussion about many aspects of Roddy McCorley (and the song)... and somewhere it mentioned that the words were from late 19th century - but the tune was from (~) 1927. I would presume this was the product of post-rebellion fervour ... but I don't have the details - and it really is one for the Irish experts!

Regards,

Bob
