Lyrics/MP3's

Found here:

http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/black-tans.html

I am going to put the link on the main page. There is a html comment there that the lyrics are copyrighted, but surely fair use would allow them to be re-printed? In any case, is it ok to link?

The mp3's on the cantaria site are seemingly ok: http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/copyright.html

Is there official policy on lyrics?

If this was written by Dominic Behan who died in 1989 then putting these lyrics up is a copyright violation. About another 50 years or so before they become public domain. Please also see notices put on other articles you have submitted. Thanks --Richhoncho 16:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a small observation: while the chivalry.com link above is dead, the lyrics can be found all over the web - but not all of them are identical, and most differ from the original at least a little. No really good, authoritative source seems to be online anywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.112.255.16 (talk) 21:18, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When was this written?

Seems like an important missing piece of info. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I am fairly sure it was the fifties or very early sixties. There aren't any sources mentioning it though...--Boynamedsue (talk) 14:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And just like that, I found it on an RTE documentary. The song was written in the early sixties.--Boynamedsue (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
