Subject: RE: Traditional songs & madness
Actually, Tattie B & Susan A-R, it was only sung, solo, by Tommy Makem. When he sang it as part of the 'Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem' act, the rest of them would retire to the back of the stage to give him the spotlight spot. It's on Youtube. There is also an informative ongoing thread on here, called "Dick Darby the Cobbler: songs with same tune", which I have refreshed as part of this discussion.
