STORIES OF
perate hope of the distressed and disappointed peasant " Johnny I hardly knew ye" is another street song. It dates from the beginning of the present century, while " Green upon the Cape" appeared during the stirring times of 1798. "The Lamentation of Hugh Reynolds" (a genuine street production), about a real person-age guilty of abduction, and " Willy Reilly," also a production of the public muse. But the list is very long of these and kindred productions. There are many songs to and about the great Geraldines (the Fitz-Geralds) that are of con-siderable interest, but space bids me pause and so I stay my pen. |
