28 Jun 06 - 05:28 AM (#1770956) Subject: Lyr Req: BALLYRONAN MAID From: mrsmac Hi folks, I have been looking for the words of this song for ages!! it's quite a lively song and the last line of each verse contains the words "my comely Ballyronan (?) Maid". I think that Roisin White used to sing it, if that helps?! thanks MrsMac |

I don't actually have that recording, but maybe someone else can help you if they know the song under that title, or perhaps someone might have the recording and can get the words for you from there. I hope it's the same song – I wouldn't have described it as "lively". Good luck. |

28 Jun 06 - 10:45 AM (#1771158) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: BALLYRONAN MAID From: Big Mick Thanks for asking for this one, mrsmac. I hadn't heard it in years. A band called Barley Bree recorded a smashing version and I remember wanting to add it to my repertoire, but it got laid aside. I shall begin arranging a version straightaway. Thanks for bringing it up. All the best, Mick |
