Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Uncle Dan McCann
Subject: Uncle Dan McCann
This is one of those annoying requests. There is a song I can't get out of my head, and I think it was on a collection of Irish music - one of those compilation CD's, which I lent out to somebody and never got back. I can't remember who sang it. The song was called "Uncle Dan" and it started out "I've lately wandered over here to search for me Uncle Dan..." It's about a nephew searching for his uncle who comes to America in 1861 and fights in the Civil War. He finally finds him and he's become a congressman or senator or something. Anybody have the lyrics or know who sang it?
