“The Unicorn” #7 5/25/1968

Save the unicorns! This group’s name, the Irish Rovers, was quite appropriate as all but one member had pure Irish roots. They began in Toronto several years earlier, taking their moniker from a traditional ballad of Eire. This whimsical tune was written by Shel Silverstein, who also composed “A Boy Named Sue,” “Sylvia’s Mother,” “The Cover Of ‘Rolling Stone’“ and plenty more off-the-wall songs.
