Thread Name: Origins: Paddy West
Subject: RE: Origins: Paddy West
Samson gives a Shanty "Paddy Doyle" which he says relates to a Liverpool boarding house keeper.
He ascribes to said Doyle the same story of him having a cow's horn in the yard which he chased sailors around to give them the authentic qualification.

He gives the shanty "Blow Boys Blow" but it is unrelated to the Paddy West shanty given here.
