Thread Name: Irish song info request
Subject: RE: Irish song info request
Can you help, I have been looking for a song for over 50yrs, My granddad used to sing it to me as a small boy,and used to say that there were more verses. One person thought it might be from Vaudeville, another a Irish folk song,others a sea shanty, Who knows??? It goes, Oh can anybody kindly tell me have they seen poor Billy Flynn. It is no joke his nose is broke and one eye in a sling. He hops about on a wooden leg,the thought of it makes me cry. He makes a little round hole in the mud as he goes and thats how we tell him by.. Any help welcome--Any idea's - web sites - Gordy
