Thread Name: Lyr Req: Irish Washer Woman
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Irish Washer Woman
Claude Simpson says: "Strong traces of 'Dargason' remain in the familiar 'Irish Washerwoman' and in the American play-party song, 'Skip to My Lou'" (The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music). They are all relatives, aren't they? But you could not say "Skip to My Lou" is the words for "Irish Washerwoman". There are at least 2 CDs, where we can listen to "Dargason" played in old style: Country Capers (Arabesque Z6520); An American Journey (Angel CDC 7243 5 55522 2 8).
