Subject: Lyr Req: Does Your Mother Come from Kimmage From: jim troy Date: 27 Sep 24 - 06:05 AM Weekend of singing, in Killeen's, Luker's, Shannonbridge. This one came up, no further lyrics other than these. Our Deirdre remembers this much, from her Mother's singing, 60's. ( Do look in at Luker's, fine Distressed Décór, a treat to behold) Does your mother come from Kimmage? Did she bring you up on spinach? There is a slow boat off to China dig me Jack. On a sunny day in Galway you can see right down the hallway if it wasn’t for the plumbing at the back. Thanks, Jimmy |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does Your Mother Come from Kimmage From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Sep 24 - 11:52 PM One and the same, Hrothgar. It's a suburb, just southwest of Dublin. I remember singing a rollicking rendition of "Three Lovely Lasses" with three lovely octogenarian Irish nuns. They were so much fun, but they're all dead now. I swear I've heard "Does Your Mother Come from Kimmage," but I haven't been able to find it again. I was with thirty Irish Mercy nuns this evening. I wish had thought to ask them. They love it when I ask about old Irish songs. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does Your Mother Come from Kimmage From: Thompson Date: 28 Sep 24 - 06:03 AM To Hell or to Kimmage, as Brendan Behan's father said when they were granted a nice Dublin Corporation house there after years in a tenement in the city centre. Kimmage (just 15 minutes by bicycle from the GPO, generally considered the dead centre of Dublin) is now getting awfully gentrified. |
