By the way, it is in the DT database with the tune in case you had not looked there first.

Thanks Lighthouse.....should have realised that when someone has a web-page with lyrics on and says that "Patrick Galvin wrote and recorded it....Clancy's I think", that he was only guessing!!!
Wondered why I couldn't find it on their cds!!

best wishes, Yvonne

He/she may well have been guessing about Patrick Galvin also! I know there's a version of it in a 1947 Walton's collection. Given his dates and the song's style, I'd be surprised if he wrote it. (He did, of course, write the fine "James Connolly" song the one that starts 'Where Oh where..)

Regards

Yes! The problem is - I thought I had replied to it! I've been rationalising the number of different computers I use for various purposes - and some things fell in the cybercracks. I'll get back to you.
