folks,
That is part of the presentation mr. Belafonte used in his recording.
If you read in the same article, the actual lyrics, they do not include those lines.
In fact, this is my source for them, and they are spoken, not sung.

All I could find was this about the song Danny Boy.
1957 Harry Belafonte sang the song from the album "An Evening with Harry
Belafonte", where he began the song with a spoken recitative, before singing
the 2 verses. He repeated the second half of the first verse the second time
around. The Recitative goes: "The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the
place is Ireland. And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer
fell, and all the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For
Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who
stayed at home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was
sad".

Hi amazing fountains of wisdom.
Anyone know the source of the below?
"The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the place is Ireland.
And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer fell, and all
the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For Ireland's
Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who stayed at
home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was sad".
I know where I located it, but am wondering if there is more?
Thanks much,
Kare
