Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?.
I agree with Helen -- this should be above the line.

Back in the '70s some time (my "popular" folk era before I discovered true traditional) I learned "Cushie McCoy" obviously derived from "Cushie Butterfield" from The Irish Rovers' TV show (perhaps written by them).

"She's a big lass and a bonny lass
And she'll make your head spin.
Old Cushie's in fine shape
For the shape that she's in."
