05 Nov 97 - 12:05 PM (#15806) Subject: RE: help with irish folksong From: leprechaun In a Dubliners Album jacket, or possibly a song book I can't find right now was a note about how Peggy Lettermore is adjusted for different cities. i.e.- In Dublin it's ...She is the belle of Dublin City; in Belfast, ...she is the belle of Belfast City; ...she is the belle of Tipperary...and so on. It's a children's song, like for skipping rope. |
