This anglicisation is given to indicate the phonetic spelling this title often receives in printed sources, for any readers who may wish to track it down elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy and Joe go on to speculate about this song, agreeing that neither of them likes it very much. It&#8217;s clear from the sound of page-turning that they are looking at a printed source as Joe sings; subsequent conversation reveals that this particular source gives seven verses in all. P. W. Joyce gives four verses (all different from the ones Joe sings here) in Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (Dublin 1909), 212-3.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best-known recordings of &#8216;Drahaareen-O Mochree&#8217; was by Donegal singer, the late Paddy Tunney.
