23 Jun 03 - 09:10 PM (#971294) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Katie McFarren (MacFarren) From: delphinium Would this be the song "Katy McFerran", written by William Shakespeare Hays, published 1867 by J.L. Peters of New York. This and more info about Hays at the Public Domain Music site http://www.pdmusic.org/hays.html (but no lyrics). |

Some of the words my friend recalls: One modest May morning, I looked down upon Erin, The land of my birth and the gem of the sea. Thanks. |
25 Jun 03 - 12:52 AM (#971944) Subject: Katy McFerran (William Shakespeare Hays) From: Joe Offer I found mention of this in one book, but no lyrics. I gather it was a well-known song. My source confirms Delphinium's spelling and songwriter information. -Joe Offer- |
