Galway City / Dublin City / Spanish Lady

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2022!

I know the day often devolves into a pastiche of plastic leprechaun's and excessive drinking, but my Irish heritage means a lot to me and I am happy that the world focuses on the incredibly valuable culture of Ireland once a year.

Some of the photos are from my ancestral home in Maghera, Upperlands, where William Clark and Sons still make Linen:

and the family home is a guest house:

This song originated in a Robert Burns collection of bawdy songs called The Merry Muses, but the original verses spawned many versions.

A great summary of the history of the song here:

Here is Burl Ives singing one version:
