AB (Johnson, O'Neill): ABB (Ford). “Shamus O’Brien” was a song composed by Kentucky-born William Shakespeare (“Will S.”) Hays (1837-1907), a prolific writer of popular songs in the mid-to-latter 19th century, although none of his over 300 published songs have been enduring. It was published in New York in 1867 under the title “Sheamus O’Brien; Answer to Nora O’Neal,” referring to a song also written by Hays, in 1866.
