To: Knitting A Conundrum

There's a variation on one verse of these lyrics, a song I heard sung by Mary Black, the Leaboy's Lassie.

First when I came to the town,
They called me young and bonny
Now they've changed my name
Call me the leaboy's lassie.

I'll dye my petticoats red
And I'll face them with a yellow
Tell all the dyester lads
The leaboys I've to follow ....

That's one I haven't run across yet!

I have Andrew Lawrence King's Carolan's Harp, and that is fun. But I have a compilation album called Celtic Oddyssy that has Carolan's Ramble to Cashell by Northern Lights which is where I fell in love with his music.
