Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Dominic Behan Farewell to Kilkenny?
Never heard Frank sing it, that I remember. Interesting one, alright. Nor do I recall ever seeing it in older songbooks. Slightly literary whiff about the "by the waters of Babylon" style repeat? If Dominic wrote it, you'd expect people to remember the fact. Apart from the multiplicity of names he used for copyright purposes, he didn't exactly hide his light under a bushel!
