Thread Name: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Subject: RE: Folk clubs - what is being sung
OK, it's not a folk club per se, but we have at least six "resident" singers and on average about eight floor singers at our Sunday afternoon session in the Liberties. All kinds of stuff gets done, depending on who turns up (last week we had a ton of Italian songs from visiting rugby fans), but the following have been cropping up on a regular basis over the past few months:
Ain't misbehavin' (Fats Waller) All for me grog Around the World (?) As I roved out (Planxty version) Bella Ciao or another Italian song Country Roads or another John Denver song Dublin in the Rare Old Times (Pete St. John) Dicey Riley or I'll tell me ma Dublin Ramble (Leo Maguire?) Easy and slow Eileen Oge (Percy French) The finding of Moses (Zozimus) Grace (Pete St. John) Hand me down me bible (?) High Noon (?) Irish Molly (Cohen?) Joe Hill (?) Maggie (O'Casey version) Maids when you're young The Moonshiner (Delia Murphy?) Morningtown Ride (Malvina Reynolds) Night visiting song Old Triangle (Brendan Behan) Only our rivers run free (McConnell?) Óró 'sé do bheatha abhaile (Pádraig Pearse) Punch and Judy Man (Connell) Raglan Road (Patrick Kavanagh) Schooldays Over (Ewan McColl) She likes a little bit in the morning Some/any song about whiskey Spancil Hill Spanish Lady Sullivan's John (Pecker Dunne) The Galtee Mountain Boys or Girls of Mayo Town I loved so well (Phil Coulter) When You're Smiling Wild Colonial Boy Will You Go Lassie Go (McPeake family) You Are My Sunshine or similar old-time
