Thread Name: Lyr Req: Come Down the Mountain Katie Daly (O'Shea
Subject: Lyr Add: KATY DALY
the person who started this thread referred to this as Irish song. Indeed, I first heard this song as:
Come down from the mountains, Katy Daly
Come down from the mountains, Katy do
Come down from the mountains, Katy Daly
We want to taste your Irish mountain brew

Come on down, Katy do
Give us a sup of your Irish brew
We've been dry for a week or more
Give us a drop like you did before!

I suspect, however that in this case the Irish version derived from an American one. Anyone have any further information?
