Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys
THE EMIGRANT, performed by Davey Arthur & Co., on "Celtic Side Saddle" can be heard on Spotify. All the words I heard sounded like Gaelic to me, therefore I can't transcribe them. (I did, however, recognize the phrase "asthore machree"—however you spell that—familiar only because it appears in so many Irish songs.)

Do we know for certain that it has English words?
