Thanks Jim - posted The Maountains Of Cooley myself and have seen the other.
Thanks again.

Perhaps there are more Coburn songs.

There's 2 songs about Coburn in James N. Healy, The Mercier Book of Old Irish Street Ballads, vol.3, "The People at Play", pp. 93-96, namely "The Cowardly Englishman" (begins "You gallant sons of Grania, pay attention for a while") and "Coburn's Challenge to Heenan", beginning :You gallant sons of Paddy's land I hope you will draw near".Does this help??

Does anyone know these two songs.... The Mountains of Cooley and Coburn The Boxer.

The Mountains of Cooley are in Co. Louth, Ireland and Coburn was a bare knuckles fighter in the US c.1863

Any help would be much appreciated. Mick
