Thread Name: Cheerful Irish love song?
Subject: Cheerful Irish love song?
No, seriously.

One of my daughters has a not bad voice, but mainly listens to pop music.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear her singing "The lass of Glenshee" some years ago at a family gathering, and following the Michael Collins movie she added "She moved through the fair" to her modest repertoire.

Now she and some friends of divers nationalities are organising a conferring (graduation) party at which each will perform something from his/her national culture, and she has asked for suggestions for an Irish love song (in English) that's more cheerful than the average.

Any suggestions from the Mudcat oracle? I have to spend all my spare time practising me pipes because this is an intergenerational affair.
