Thread Name: Irish? Sez who? and why?
Subject: Buy·broom. Irish? Sez who? and why?
Googling the song "Lish Young Buy-a-Broom", I came across it on this website --
Irish Song Lyrics: Lish Young Buyabroom -- Irish Music - Song and Ballad Lyrics (http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/irish-songs-ballads-lyrics/lish_young_buyabroom.htm)
As the song is set in the North of England -- Cumbria, between Kirkby Stephen and Kendal -- I can't help wondering what sort of Irish Imperialism was in play to post it there.
Anyone any idea what goes on here?
