The Irish Jubilee

Here's the ultimate Irish comic song about food and celebration. I first heard it in 1983 in Slattery's upstairs room played by a folk rock band whose name I can't recall. They pointed me to an early Boys of the Lough album, An Irish Jubilee, and to Robin Morton's book, Folksongs Sung in Ulster. It was also sung by Bess Cronin, who sings a version truer to the original than the one I sing here, from Robin Morton's collection (collected from a Mr. Higgenbottom). It was originally composed by two Irish emigrants, James Thornton (lyrics) and Charles B. Lawler (music) in 1890 for the Vaudeville stage in New York City. As Robin says, "It's great craic to sing and listen to."
