A friend of mine said she was an admirer of Paddy Tunney. I gave her an LP she'd never heard. She was delighted with the songs, but asked me why, in the 'lovely song 'Green fields of Canada', one line said


'And the lambs have gone to Russia' ??

I was puzzled about this so when I got the LP back I had a listen again- it's an emigration song, and the correct line is


'And the lands have gone to rushes'
