Thread Name: How many miles to Dublin?
Subject: How many miles to Dublin?
My father, whose parents came from Skerries, would bounce babies on his knee while singing: "Up jup little horse, up jup again Many miles to Dublin Three score and ten"
In Ulysses, James Joyce writes these words: "How many miles to Dublin? Three score and ten, sir. Will we get there by candle light?"
Does anyone know the name of this song or anything about it?
