Cant find it anywhere on the database so I thought i'd ask u lot! It has a different tune, I know that but im sorry, i dont know much else about it. Its actually my dad that wants it, but I wouldnt mind a copy of it myself. Thanx! |

I've just been playing a double album of Finbar and Eddy Furey from 1982 where they sing that one; they spell it Carron Lough Bay. Very similar indeed to The Road to Dundee. The double album is in fact two of their records packaged together. |
