Subject: Lyr Req: Sweet Daffodil Mulligan From: Fergie Date: 12 Oct 08 - 03:31 PM Hi all. Barry Gleeson recorded this on his first CD 'PATH ACROSS THE OCEAN' It's a music hall song that was written, I think by Harry O'Donovan. I have Barry's CD but I've misplaced and so don't have access to the song words. Fergus |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Daffodil Mulligan From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 Oct 08 - 08:23 AM I was able to transcribe this much from a sound sample:
So they just called me Daffy, now maybe that's queer. But I'm— [CHORUS?] Sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am All my ancestors come from The Coombe And I'm just such another, the spit of my mother, The lady that lives in one room (Down in Francis Street) Sweet Daffodil Mulligan (Fresh fish!)...

That's an interesting review of the old 78 recording. The A side in question was, I believe, "Dan Doogan's Jubilee", another favourite of Barry's. See Ya Friday Domo |

Subject: Lyr Add: SWEET DAFFODIL MULLIGAN (Harry O'Donovan) From: Fergie Date: 16 Oct 08 - 08:32 PM hi all compliments of our own domo and Twangman who each, alone, individually and independently did tonight supplied me with the unabridged lyrics, we can now add 'Sweet Daffodil Mulligan' to the DT. Thank you Tony and Mick. SWEET DAFFODIL MULLIGAN I'm Daffodil Mulligan, biddy's young girl. And the fellas all say I'm a peach and a pearl I was born at the daffodil time of the year, So they just called me Daffy, now maybe that's queer Chorus; But I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan, I am All me ancestors come from the Coombe And I'm just another, the spit of me mother, The lady who lives in one room, down in Francis Street Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, Fresh Fish! Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom, I'm bright, hale and hearty, the life of the party I'm Daffy, the belle of the Coombe, Fresh Fish! It was out in Pine Forest, shady and dim That I first met my Jemmy, so tall and so slim It was at an excursion, the girls looked so swell But I took the biscuit and Jem's heart as well We were married in August when Jem was on strike So he took me to Bray on the back of his bike Now the strike is all over and Jem, bless his soul, Has settled down steadily drawing the dole. PS I love the song and I'm very fond of both of the benefactors, Thanks to both the lads Fergie |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Daffodil Mulligan (Harry O'Donovan) From: Fergie Date: 08 May 09 - 02:12 PM Words for 'Sweet Daffodil Mulligan' are posted above. A sound sample of Barry Gleeson singing this song is available here. Barry Gleeson This CD (Paths Across the Ocean) is brilliant and I recommend that you add it to your collection. If you want to hear Barry singing live then go to the Góilín Club in Dublin, he is there most weeks and never disappoints, he has a remarkable voice and an eclectic repetoire of mighty songs.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Daffodil Mulligan (Harry O'Donovan) From: GUEST,Maureen Date: 24 May 09 - 09:25 AM Looking for copy of 4part Ave Maria by Franz Abt can anyone help |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Daffodil Mulligan (Harry O'Donovan) From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 May 09 - 02:45 PM Maureen: A word of advice: If you want information of any kind at Mudcat, it's best not to post your request in a thread about a different song. The people who can help you won't see it. There are too many Mudcat threads for anyone to read everything; most people look at the thread title to see if it's something they're interested in. No one will look at THIS thread except people interested in discussing "Sweet Daffodil Mulligan." I suggest you start a new thread with the words "Ave Maria by Franz Abt" in the title. |
