Hi Jim and others,

thanks for your message. I forgot to tell the genre of this song. It's a traditional Irish song, sung unaccompanied. And Neil Loughran I suppose is (was?) one of the singers in the old tradition of singing in Ireland.

Any help?

I was unable to find any information about a singer named Neil Loughran.
(I did find a jazz keyboardist named Neil Loughran.)

I was unable to find any information about a song called CHATHAM STREET.

However, Chatham Street is mentioned in some versions of the song NEW YORK GIRLS: "As I walked out on —— Street..."

Hi friends,

I came across a song "Chatham street" sung by a Neil Loughran. Does anyone have the lyrics for this "misfortune song"?

The first verse goes something like this:
"Kind friends oh will you listen I will sing to you a song
and if you pay attention sure I won't attain you long
I come from céili? the other day
And I saved a fifty pounds
And my friends all were expecting me that night in Eyrie? town."

Thanks for help!

cheers,
