What would have become of DANA had she not won Eurovision in 1970? Rosemary Brown would've become a music teacher, entertaining her classes with singalongs like this. With Miss Brown as your teacher you'd never want to skip a lesson. This rendition of Old Maid in the Garret is surely one of the best. Ten out of ten and a gold star for DANA and the enthusiastic pupils of 73 Clarendon Street in Derry, the location of the ballet school where she was once a pupil. There's even a picture of her on the mantelpiece, next to the snowdrops (not) and daffodils. I have often heard it said by me father and me mother That going to a wedding was the makings of another Now if this be so, sure I'd go without a bidding Oh kind providence, won't you send me to a wedding For it's oh dear me, how would it be If I die an old maid in the garret Well now there's me sister Jean, she's not handsome or good-looking Scarcely sixteen and this fellow she was courting Now she's twenty-four with a son and a daughter Here am I forty-five and I've never had an offer And it's oh dear me, how would it be If I die an old maid in the garret Well I cook and I can sew, I can make the house right tidy Rise up in the morning and get the breakfast ready But nothing in this wide world would make me half so cheery As a wee fat man that would call me his own deary And it's oh dear me, how would it be If I die an old maid in the garret Oh, but I'm away home, sure there's nobody heeding There's nobody heeding to poor DANA's pleading I'm away home to me own wee bit garret If I can't get a man then I'll surely get a parrot For it's oh dear me, how would it be If I die an old maid in the garret Yes it's oh dear me, how would it be If I die an old maid in the garret Trivia 1: This traditional Irish folk song dates back to the 17th century. What is a garret? "A garret is a habitable attic, a living space at the top of a house or larger residential building, often small, dismal, and cramped, with sloping ceilings. In the days before elevators this was the least prestigious position in a building." (Wikipedia) Trivia 2: This film dates back to the 20th century. It comes from a DANA documentary made in 1974 by Canadian Jim Swackhammer, called Who is Rosemary Brown?
