Every Saint Patrick’s Day, my mom hides little doll overalls in the bottom of her big pot of corn chowder. She usually has guests, so she makes a big deal about the guest of honor serving the first spoon. The guest is always dumbfounded when they pull up a big laddle-full of overalls. That’s when my mom bursts into the song “Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphey’s Chowder”.

Does anybody know if this is an Irish song or was it written in the U.S.? Did George L. Griefer write it or was he just the first to write it down?

This was beautifully written and I enjoyed it as I just watched the movie this morning.

Hi Garry,
thanks for your email, since I posted mine I have discovered that Billy signed the original wax master disc of this record, so all subsequent copies would have it but thanks for your response and useful info.
Best regards.

Hi Bill,

I had recently purchased lots of 78’s and there were several pressings of Billy Williams on different record labels.

In response to your query Bill, four of the Phoenix label pressings from 1910/11 were signed / inscribed on the label, and I would imagine that yours is authentic too.

Regards

Gary W.

Hello,
I have a 1911 Jumbo record cat. No. 703 of Billy Williams singing Don’t go out with him tonight, No. A28220 and My father was born in Killarney, No. A28291.There is a Billy Williams signature on each label, but I don’t know if it is his, has anyone got a copy of his signature for comparison.
Sadly the record is in very poor condition but still playable. I would appreciate any comments by email.
Regards
Bill Taylor.

Hey,
Thanks for the words to this song. My 92 year old aunt has been singing a couple lines of this for years, and mentioned to me again when she was telling me about the sing along at the apartments on St. Patrick’s Day. Now I can send her the words.

Hi from Australia!

It is a great honour to know that my great grand father is still fondly remembered.

To set the record straight – My great grand father never changed his his name to William Bottomley or remarried – maybe played up a bit though!

After his death his wife Amy Williams and their chidren Reginald, William Magaret and Cathleen or move to Australia to live out their lives.

My father and myself are the last of the Williams line.

Thanks, Phineous! I’m married to Patricia Margaret Barnes, daughter of Bertie James Barnes, so a Fred James Barnes tune is a treat to hear! I should point out, though, that the version of Billy Williams’ “I’m Henery the Eighth, I Am” that was a chart hit in the 1960s was by Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, not Herman’s Hermits.

My Mum and her sister (both born in the 1920’s) used to sing the chorus of this song to us when we were kids in the 60’s. Great memories ! So glad I found this !
