Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Night that O'Rafferty's Pig Ran Away
If you had been in Wigtown town centre on a saturday night in the 1930 and 1950 era you would have heard it sung by Andy Harvey Andy used to sing it on stage too .Along with Daved stewart and his concert party they travelled all over Wigtownshire and not only did he sing O Rafferty`s pig but also Maggie Gaw , Phil o Flutter`s ball and Maggie Murphy`s Home . When he ran out of words out would come the mouth organ and believe it or not ' IT was always Irish music he would play. Yes it brings back happy memories His son carried on the same tradition doing concerts in the same style as his Dad .
