GUEST,Sharon Carl Lyr Add: Obama Irish song (38) RE: Lyr Add: Obama Irish song 26 Sep 08

This from Shay Black. The tune is NOT 'Sweet Betsy from Pike'.

At last, a song that chronicles in verse Barack Obama's historic journey to become the first Black Irish President of the United States.

Hit the phrase on the bottom right of the screen that says "Watch in high quality."

Recorded on September 14th, 2008 at the Sunday night Irish music session at the Starry Plough pub in Berkeley, California.

This is an open music and song session, now running weekly for over thirteen years.

The basics of the song started with the Corrigan Brothers in Ireland.   www.HardyDrew.com
Extra verse contributions (in some form) by Shay Black, Celia Ramsey, Chris Caswell, Walter Askew (Salty Walt), Craig Johnson, Tom Clancy, Barry Gleeson, Dave Sahn, Peter Heelan.

Please forward, and if you can't learn all the words, learn and sing the chorus.

Yes, we can.
