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 .
