Thread Name: Lyr Add: Pat of Mullingar/The Man from Mullingar
Subject: RE: Need words for
The version of The Man from Mullingar, posted by Ralph Butts, is the version recorded by the Irish Rovers on their Unicorn LP. The Rovers, however, only recorded the first, third and fourth verses of the original poem. The verses, posted by Quincy, that begin "On Easter Monday" and "When Ireland takes her place", are actually the second and fifth verse of the poem. Unfortunately, I have long since forgotten the title of the book in which I found the poem.
