Thread Name: Lyr Req: When you & I were young, Maggie - Redpath
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When you & I were young, Maggie
Yeah, but Jean, you didn't tell the rest of the story. The song Redpath sings is an Irish song called "Nora" (words by Seán O'Casey - in the Digital Tradition as Maggie), which uses the tune of When You and I Were Young, Maggie. Note that "When You and I Were Young, Maggie" comes from Ontario. I humbly confess I assumed it came from the U.S. -Joe Offer- Click for background info in related thread
