Subject: RE: Lr. Req.: My (other) Irish Molly-o From: MartinRyan Date: 19 Aug 11 - 04:52 PM Just to mop up... When 19C. song books mention "My Irish Molly" as the air to a song, it's the Sash/Hat my father wore tune to which they refer. Regards |
Subject: Lyr Add: IRISH MOLLY-O From: Martin Ryan Date: 24 Jul 98 - 06:56 AM At a recent talk by one Brian Mullins on the connections between the Orange and Green song-traditions in the North, he traced the well-known "Sash My Father Wore", via "The Hat My Father Wore", to the following:
IRISH MOLLY-O Tell me who is that poor stranger that lately came to town Mick Maloney (?), apparently, came across this in an American songbook of about 1810. Since then, I've found versions in several later 19th C. books - there are a few other verses in some. I'm just curious as to whether it is still sung, whether the Sash air (slowly and freely) is used - and whether this is the "Irish Molly" tune mentioned in such books. The DT Irish Molly is much later - about 1910, I believe. Regards |

Subject: RE: Lr. Req.: My (other) Irish Molly-o From: Bruce O. Date: 13 Jul 98 - 05:25 PM There's one (different song than that in DT) in Joyce's 'Old Irish Folk Music and Songs', #403. |

Subject: Lr. Req.: My (other) Irish Molly-o From: Date: 12 Jul 98 - 06:56 PM "My Irish Molly O" often appears as the air for "Irish" songs in old American songbooks. It rarely appears to be the one given in the DT - and curently very popular in Ireland.
Anyone got an air or set of words? Regards |
