Subject: RE: LYR ADD: The Boys of Barr Na Sraide (w/RA)
"Barr na Sraide" , which is the name of a street in Cahirciveen in Co. Kerry, was written by Sigerson Clifford - who also wrote the "Ballad of the Tinkerman's Daughter", on which there was a thread some time ago. I think some of the place names (all around Cahierciveen) are common to both songs.

Regards p.s. "Barr na Sraide" literally means "top of the road".
