Thread Name: Lyr Req: My Girl's a Yorkshire Girl (C.W. Murphy)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My girls a Yorkshire girl
Clarence W. Murphy certainly was a prolific songwriter, and in a short period of time, too. I've compiled a list of every song written by him that I can find a mention of on the Internet. Many of these came from one site:
http://www.truesoundtransfers.de/edi412.htm
To keep the list simple, I have always listed his name as "Clarence W." although I sometimes found it as "C.W."; and I always listed his name first although it was sometimes given second. Probably the most frequently mentioned songs are "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" and "Let's All Go Down the Strand".

*Let's All Go Down the Strand---Have A Banana!
Harry Castling (d. 1930) "From the song, 'Let's All Go Down The Strand' (1904), written with C. W. Murphy. The words 'have a banana' were interpolated by audiences. Although not part of the original lyrics, they were included in later versions." (From Rees Cassell, "Companion to Quotations" (1997))
