Hi there,

Who can help me please?

I am looking for the lyrics to a very old Irish song "Callcannon". The spelling may not be correct, but I know how to make it and the chorus goes somewhat as follows:

Oh you did so you did
So did you and so did I
And the more I think about it
The nearer I could cry
And sure wern`t they the happy days
When troubles we knew not
And your mother made Callcannon
In the little skillet pot

Thanks

JB
