If, like me, you like the tune used for "Boolavogue" but not the words - try some of the sets used for the tune before those words were written! The Aussie convict song "Moreton Bay" is particularly good, I reckon.

Regards

p.s. As far as the story of Father Murphy is concerned, BTW, there ARE some very good songs!
