Yeah, Mr. Red - follow the links in my post to the thread that gives background information. Note that Redpath's version is her own refinement of Seán O'Casey's "Nora" lyrics. The Canadian "When You and I Were Young, Maggie," apparently came first.
I'm wondering if the versions we have in the Digital Tradition are good transcriptions of the originals, or if they need some work.
