Thread Name: Lyr/Chords/Tune: Homes of Donegal (Sean McBride)
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords/Tune: Homes Of Donegal
Dylan used this air for "I pity the poor immigrant". Whether his source was "The Homes" or "Tramps an Hawkers" is a matter of conjecture (unless someone has some definitive information).

Christy Moore recorded, (or at least performed), Dylan's song with Moving Hearts and also a H-Block song called "90 miles from Dublin" to the same air.

Christy and Paul Brady have both recorded "The Lakes of Pontchartrain". Christy was Paul's source for the song. The air is a close relation but not identical.
