Hope somebody can help me. My late Father used to sing a song to me when I was very little and the only line that I can remember is:

"Will you take this for bail sir, My Mother's in jail sir, And I know that she's done no wrong"

I think a guy called Jack Daly sang it in the 1950's.

Thanks, Áine, xxx.

If any of the regular 'Catters are thinking that the GUEST,Áine is me, it isn't.

Well, I was, but in any case I have searched high and low to help out Guest-Áine and come up wi' nought.

If Áine sez it Áine't her, then I believe her! Also, if Guest-Áine sez "My Mother's in jail sir, And I know that she's done no wrong" then I've got to believe her too!

Guest, Aine, (I'm sorry I don't know how to put that little thing on top of the capital A...) I looked all over the place but couldn't find any references to your Jack Daly and without a title, I came up empty-handed. Sorry I couldn't help but will keep trying via the lyrics...I'll let you know if anything comes up.
