Thread Name: Lyr Req: If I Was a Blackbird
Subject: RE: Req: If I Were a Blackbird I'd Whistle & Sing
I first heard my Tipperary born grandmother sing this song that she said she learned as a child. I even took a stab at it on my "Heritage River" album. I have since heard an old 78 version by Dublin singer Mary Carton, 40,s vintage.
