What a wonderful thread! I love all of these answers. My Dad loved all those sentimental old Irish songs especially "Rose of Tralee" because my mother's name is Mary, and "Come Back, Paddy Reilly, to Ballyjamesduff" because his mother was born in Ballyjamesduff. He was a sort of one man folk process since he rarely remembered the words of songs and would make up others as he went along. But they would always rhyme and very often were stronger and better than the original. God, how I miss him.
