Thread Name: Lyr Req: Come Down the Mountain Katie Daly (O'Shea
Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: KATIE DALY
I have Katie Daly (must be the Irish spelling), by the Irish group, Brier Folkgroup. It's done as a medley with The Leaving of Liverpool, so is presumably missing some verses. I guess the reference to Tipperary has led to its adoption in Ireland.

Chorus
Come down the mountain, Katie Daly
Come down from the mountain, Katy, do
Can't you hear us callin', Katie Daly
We want to drink your good old mountain dew

Now your old man, Kitty, came from Tipperary
In the pioneering year of forty-two
Your old man he was shot in Tombstone City
For the making of his Irish mountain dew

Chorus

Wake up and pay attention, Katie Daly
I am the judge that's gonna sentence you
And all them boys in court have drunk your whiskey
And, to tell the truth, dear Kitty, I drunk some, too

Here's Brier's tune (verse first, then chorus)
