Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Seven Irish Boys
THE SEVEN IRISH BOYS appears on Dick Cameron's album "Irish Folk Songs and Ballads," Smithsonian Folkways #FW-03516_109. You can hear a sound sample on this page, from which I transcribed this much:
As seven of our Irish boys walked down through George's Street, One of those damn Yankee dogs they happened for to meet. He promised them employment in a brickyard near the town, And then he did induce them all their names for to give down.
He brought them to an alehouse where they got drinks galore....
