History
Planxty played this on "Cold Blow the Rainy Night" and on "The Planxty Collection".
From the Session;
Yep, Johnny Moynihan wrote this one. According to Leagues O Toole's book, Johnny was on the lock all day with a woman he met and when they ran out of money she discovered a cheque for 42 punt in her bag, which they cashed and then continued drinking.
