Thread Name: Irish immigrant songs/letters from home
Subject: Irish immigrant songs/letters from home
OK, I don't have much to go on, here. A number of years ago I heard a song, probably on the "Thistle and Shamrock", that was taken from a bundle of letters to an immigrant from his/her home in Ireland. My memeory is that each verse ended with some variant of "When are you comming home?"

It's not much, but can anyone help me?

Geoff,
