Comments:	In 1910, Fred Weatherly wrote words and music for a song called "Danny Boy", but it got no attention. In 1912, Weatherly's sister-in-law sent him the song "Londonderry Air", which fitted his lyrics perfectly. In 1913, Weatherly published a revised version of his lyrics to fit the new tune.
