Subject: Origins: Dunn/done song? Heard a long time ago... From: Silverwolff Date: 01 May 06 - 10:19 PM Hello all! I heard a song a long, long, while ago, probably around 10 years or so. It was either on Thistle and Shamrock, or possibly Mountain Stage. It was a guy singing a cappella, sounded like he was Irish. The song was about a family named Dunn, and the chorus went something like this, "For there was high Dunn, low Dunn Under Dunn and over Dunn All the other younger Dunns in a night, they run there was old Dunn and young Dunn, and young Dunn's youngest son. Young Dunn will be a Dunn when auld Dunn's done." The rest of the song was mostly more puns on the name. Has ANYBODY heard this song, who it's by, etc.? A long-time folkie that I know listened to the bit of it I have on tape, and he couldn't place either the singer (very rare for him) or the song. :( I'd vastly appreciate any info from somebody who has heard this. Thanks! Silver |

Subject: RE: Origins: Dunn/done song? Heard a long time ago... From: Toenails John Date: 02 May 06 - 01:48 PM Great song, but experience has taught me, very difficult to learn, and should not be attempted after any more than 3 pints of whatever your pleasure! I gave up after a handfull of failed attempts. hope you have better luck! Tj |
