Dicey Reilly
Dicey Reilly is a traditional Irish song written by Brendan Behan at the start of the 20th century.
The song tells the tale of an alcoholic Call girl from Dublin. There are various versions of the song with additional verses added by artists such as Dominic Behan, and most notably a version written by Ronnie Drew in which Dicey Reilly appears in court.[1]
It is uncertain whether Dicey Reilly was a real person, or if she was entirely fictional.
