McCarthy's Shanagolden and maybe a few more lyrics are on the forum archives. Red Haired Mary is in the Digital Tradition

Just to say that Sean's songs are still current- I was at a lovely singing session in Swanlinbar, Co Cavan last weekend & heard two of them....
'Shanagolden' and 'Red Haired Mary'- the latter sung twice, once by a latecomer! were both to be heard there at the Stables Bar.

I met Sean with my pal John Newman from Liverpool in the sixties when he ran a club at his pub near Clapham Junction- once with the lovely Jo-Anne Kelly as guest- happy days
