Thread Name: songs on emigration
Subject: RE: songs on emigration
A CD you might consider is a compliation called "Thousands are Sailing", which has many of the songs already listed.
Two songs that I particularly enjoy that I didn't see mentioned:
"Kilkenny" -- Robbie O'Connell and Mick Moloney had a nice version on an album of the same name
"Leaving Nancy" -- written by Eric Bogle about leaving his mother in Scotland
Good luck.
