Irish traditional tune sung quietly due to explicit lyrics. This has evaded me for ages! Ask your parents and older relations if you don't know yourself. All I know of it is; "They battered Mrs. Flood...Spilt her husbands blood...Round the corpse of her dear son Archie./.No great harm was done...Good clean Irish fun...Down at MaCarthy's party." Thanks a million.

This came up in an earlier thread, type "Macarthy" in the digitrad and forum search box, on the forum home page, and you'll find it.
love, john.

"MCCARTHY'S PARTY" is in an old thread here. Note: when using the search feature, either the DigiTrad search or the DigiTrad and Forum Search, it DOES make a difference whether you spell it "McCarthy" or MacCarthy" or "MaCarthy". It also makes a difference whether it's "McCarthy" or "McCarthy's". You have to do it 6 times before you're sure you've covered all the possibilities.

Capitalization does NOT matter, however.
