doesn't that dresed in red business come up in a song called Louis Collins as well.

these recurring things in folksongs, I'm not ever so keen on. Not in English, not in American and Irish folksongs either - I call it 'the seven long years syndrome'.

Its like talking to your Dad or your Grandad, and you want to shake him by the throat and say - you told me this story a million times before.....the first time when I was eight and it wasn't interesting then!
