From memory Jim McCann from the Dubliners sang this - Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway. Any lyrics please? I have the music in my head for the main tune - is there a B part/bridge?

Regards, John

Lyrics are here (written by Gerry Rafferty, and originally recorded by The Humblebums:  Her father didn't like me anyway

Yes; there is a bridge.

That was the Humblebums MkII of course. Any catters Edinburgh way know what happened to Tom Harvey, who was Billy Connolly's original partner? Fine guitarist.

Sorcha, if you're feeling twitchy, you could have pointed out that John in Brisbane (or someone using his cookie) asked exactly the same question on 23 Nov 2000 (here) and was referred to the same thread that you have just dug out.

ireland's a guest, so maybe he/she doesn't understand the way the system works (obviously doesn't understand shift keys *G*). Anyway, why have the lyrics never made it into the DT? Maybe it needs to be in the forum three times for that.

I still think Guests need to READ---both the posts and the FAQ. Surely it's not that difficult........Probably they haven't made it into the DT because Dick is so far behind. They could at least get birdied, tho.

For anyone wondering why I have breathed life back into this old thread, or what I'm talking about, I meant to post that last message here.
