  • Holidays my little Irish great grandmother would sing this to me. She would have a small glass of whiskey ,straight, then after a few minutes she would start singing .... I'm only a bird in a gilded cage ! This was the first time I ever heard the song. I smiled the whole time listening to it.

  • Great rendition! I saw the Victrolaman upload, which showed the music with George Diamond on the cover. I've also heard the version on Lambert, apparently by Joe Natus.
