Thread Name: Tune Req: The Galway Shawl
Subject: RE: Anybody know 'Galway Shawl'?
My Dad used to sing Galway Shawl with this verse: I played the blackbird, the stack of barley, the old black rogue and the foggy dew. She sang each note like an Irish linnet, with the smile of Erin in her eyes of blue

About 5 years ago I heard these same words sung to a totally different tune. Actually, it was a nicer melody.
