Hi Gang, kope all is well in Mudcat.

I have a small Real Audio clip of this song as sung by Jim McCann, which I picked up somewhere on the Web years ago.

Can anyone help with the lyrics please?

Regards, John

Thanks very much Sorcha. I did try an exact search beforehand in the DT and Forum, but I guess I'm not up to date on the latest machinations of Max's search beast.

Many thanks, John

Shane MacGowan did a wicked version of this song, circa 1994.

her father didnt like me anyway :

the coat she wore still lies upon the bed
the book i gave her that she never read
she left without a single word to say
her father didnt like me anyway

she always wanted more than i could give
she wasnt happy with the way i lived
i could have felt like asking her to stay
her father didnt like me anyway


chorus
daddy never knew just what she saw in me
daddy didnt like my hair
perhaps if we had talked he might have seen something in me
her daddy didnt really care

for to tell the truth i didnt have the nerve
for i know i only got what i deserved
and now shes taken leave of me today
and her father didnt like me anyway

chorus

hope its ok!^^

Ireland, now it's in the Forum twice. If you had followed my link above, you would have seen that you did not need to do all that typing.........please, please read the messages.

Sorcha, if you're feeling twitchy, you could have pointed out that John in Brisbane (or someone using his cookie) asked the same question on 23 Nov 2000 (here, where I've just mistakenly posted this message). He 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.

Well, at least it helped the song get harvested. Don't know when it will apppear in the Digital Tradition.
