MartinRyan Origins: (Dan) Murphy's Running Dog (11) Origins: (Dan) Murphy's Running Dog 25 Jun 15


In his book Songs of Wexford the great Paddy Berry includes a coursing song called "Murphy's Running Dog", which he ascribes to a local Wexford Man named Michael O'Brien.

While hunting for an online set of lyrics for Paddy's song, I came across several late 19C. newspaper references to a comic song called "Dan Murphy's Running Dog" - so I'm curious as to whether there's a connection.

I'll post Paddy's set here when I get a chance but meanwhile, the sleuths among you may care to join the chase...

Regards
