Subject: Island of Sulloon? From: IrishDancer Date: 13 Mar 02 - 09:54 PM Searching through Irish folk songs for St. Patrick's Day, we came across a lyric in Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye which refers to the "Island of Sulloon" Does anyone know if this is a real place or was the anonymous poet reaching for a rhyme for 'bone'? |
