Heard this years ago. Humourous song as I remember! Anyone with lyrics and music? I think maybe it was Christy Moore.

Not sure... try posting on rec.music.folk also.

I know the first two lines were

Humpty Dumpty was pushed Head over heels all over the wall..."

Have you tried looking in Sing Out? They might have it somewhere...

Song is by Tommy Sands. I have most of the lyric written down somewhere. I'll have a go at looking for it. I sort of remember a few more lines. I believe the song was written for a musical production or TV/radio show or something like that

Humpety Dumpty was pushed/ Head over heels right over the wall

Humpety Dumpty was pushed/ Nobody knew it at all

All the kings horses and all the kings men

Gathered around him and kicked him again

The song is in Tommy Sands' Songbook, and was performed in a play of the same name at the Queen's University Festival in Belfast.

The address in the book is Elm Grove Music 50 Shore Road Rostrevor, Co. Down BT343AA

Lots of good songs in this book

Humpety Dumpty was pushed Head over heels right over the wall Humpety Dumpty was pushed Nobody knew it at all

All the kings horses and all the kings men Gathered around him and kicked him again Then they sent for the press and a couple of friends And they knelt on the ground and they chanted "amen"

Don,

Does the book have the rest of the lyrics you could post? I got a couple words I didn't have before from the short bit above
