Subject: RE: Tune Req: Galway Bay by Tommy Makem
Uncle Jaque,

That's in a song called Galway Bay? Is there a Galway Bay on Lake Michigan I haven't heard of?

I beleive the Tommy Makem version is a spoof of the original Galway Bay isn't it? I have the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem singing this on vinyl, but they didn't bother to credit Tommy with the lyrics.
