hmmm...I didn't see mention of Hills of Connemara on the McCarthy page, nor was it listed on the song list for the Peggy Sweeney album of his work. Am I missing something?

Anyway - Thanks, Joe, for tying my query to the previous thread. I did find the lyrics to both in my initial search, but I haven't had any luck regarding the origins of the song. The search continues, and until shown otherwise - Trad. ;-)

Cheers,

Peter
