The flu has finally broken, thank you, but I'm feeling-must...resist..urge...to post...tire picture...oh hell-tired.Miss Jane is the best wife ever and nursed me to health in part by singing songs from her childhood, my favorite is "Miss O'Leary's Irish Fruit Cake". I tried finding the origin and it seems to have been penned by a team of writers and made popular by a singer from Belfast named Ruby Murray on a 1962 record called Irish and Proud of it. I couldn't even find the lyrics but Jane knows them all by heart. (maybe can post them here?)
I could picture Jane, a little girl, sitting in class reading the words from the blackboard singing with a big innocent voice. Warms my heart.
Here is the Pat Harrington version.
I think the song should be re-recorded by Miss Jane and posted as mp3 file....hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteMom used to sing that to us. Moms sing the best songs.
ReplyDeleteOMG. It was delightful to listen to the song. I only knew the first two verses. Loved the rest of it. I was taught Mrs. Flannagan instead of Mulligan...but that's o.k. I sang it for Lucas today per Pappy's suggestion. He liked it too. Joan does a great harmony. Keep that in mind for the mp3 thought.
ReplyDeleteOh yes all the Zimmer girls can sing that song! I do think Jane does the best job of keeping it alive though. She owns it, for sure.
