Subject: RE: An Maidrín Rua
Well, Alice, you posted a version 23(?) Dec 1998 at Macarónachas/Bi-lingual songs but it isn't identical to Bobby Clancy & family's version with "top of his two ears were peeping" in the chorus. Some lines such as "good morrow, Fox, Good morrow Jack, pray tell me what's that you're eating" are the same. That verse is also in Johnm's submission I re-posted in this thread. I don't recall Clancy's having the lines about Lily and Piper. They did have "Tallyho lé na bhonn, Tallyho lé na bhonn, and we'll catch them"
