with a book by Charles O'Neal
and Abe Burrows
and music and lyrics by Ralph Blane
.
Based on O'Neal's 1949 novel The Three Wishes of Jamie McRuin, the fantasy
focuses on the title character, a young Irishman
who, when offered three wishes by the Queen of the Fairies, chooses travel, a bride, and a son who can speak Gaelic
. The granting of the first brings him to Atlanta, Georgia
, where the second is fulfilled in the form of Maeve Harrigan.
A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
It's a beautiful night... You can almost see the stars.
