Thread Name: Lyr Req: If You Ever Fall in Love Again (Farrelly)
Subject: RE: If You Ever Fall In Love Again
Hi Joan,

I too am delighted to have the information Michael has provided regarding the Irish songwriter Dick Farrelly composer of the 'Isle Of Innisree' (Theme of the film 'The Quiet Man') among others, and the song in question 'If You Ever Fall In Love Again'.

I have wonderful memories of this song from many many years ago hearing Anne Shelton's recording, and haven't heard a thing about it for so many years.

It's a very short song lyrically but is something special and I think it's great to know that there is a new recording of it by Dick Farrelly's son Gerard and singer Sinead Stone.

I just might get a copy of their CD. Good on you Michael!

Always something new from Mudcat!

Greg.
PS. I checked out their website and it seems that Dick Farrelly wrote not only 'The Isle Of Innisfree', but -

'Cottage By The Lee'
'The Rose Of Slievenamon'
'We Dreamed Our Dreams'
'Annaghdown'
'The Gypsy Maiden'
'If You Ever Fall In Love Again'and a lot of poetry besides.
