Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Ballyconnal Fair
This was based on a true story and written by Sandy McConnell of Bellanaleck, Co Fermanagh. He entertained his children with it and one of them (Cathal) probably still sings it. It's in Carmel O'Boyle (ed) The Irish Children's Songbook (Mercier Press, 1986) which is out of print - Ulstersongs (www.ulstersongs.com) has one copy - I run Ulstersongs!
