Drastically on the look-out for the complete lyrics to 4 songs:

A parody of "Early one Morning" - beginning "Early one morning, just as the pub was opening..."

A shanty (?) with words similar to "Well they call me hanging Johnny, away boys away..."

A song of which I have little information (no title or anything) the final verse runs something like:

"You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg, the enemy nearly slew you, you'll have to go out on the streets and beg, O Johnny what will (has?) happened to you?"

Complete lyrics to Paddy's Sicknote.

Thanks

Steve.

Steve:

Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye is in the database -- it's the forerunner to When Johnny Comes Marching Home, BTW.

Steve: They're all in the database (see the blue square at the upper right)
Search for [Early One Evening]

and [nearly slew]
and Paddy's
or bricks

If you can't find a song in the database, and post a query, PLEASE start a separate thread for each request.

Have also heard Hang Boys, Hang referred to as "Hanging Johnny". And Steeleye Span did a song with heavy "Johnny, I Hardly knew Ye" influences called "Fighting For Strangers."
