06 Mar 02 - 05:17 PM (#663922) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Because I Love You So, McCree From: MartinRyan Malcolm I see references to sheet music, with McNulty for the words and one Tom Madden for the music. Also a quote as to it being "From the emormously successful musical extravaganza The King of Dublin " - of which I've never heard! Little sign of dates - apart from one edition in 1928 - which I agree sounds too late to be the first. Regards |

Authorship was credited to someone named McNulty. It was also recorded by Louis Browne on CD called "Irish Tenor Favorites."
