Does anyone know any history behind this waulking song? When it was written, who wrote it, etc? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Andrea

You’ll almost certainly get a response from Mudcat which is the site that first brought me to the wonderful world of Chiffology.

There are lots of Irish song mavens there.

(Why won’t this wonderful board do a proper blue clicky for me, not even manually?)

Thank you Roger… have posted over there and will see what results come in. :slight_smile:

Best,
Andrea

Roger, your blue clicky looks just fine to me. Oh, did you mean the hyperlink? Sorry! :laughing:

Never really got a response on Mudcat for this-- just got lyric links, which I already had. Has anyone here stumbled across anything since the original inquiry?

Thanks…
