You don't need to know the title; a search for she wore no jewels, for example, will find it straight away.
There is also a discussion of the song, begun in 1998 and revived a couple of months ago: Anybody know 'Galway Shawl'? |

And here's a verse about a Green Linnet from William Wordsworth: One have I marked, the happiest guest In all this covert of the blest: Hail to Thee, far above the rest In joy of voice and pinion! Thou, Linnet! in thy green array, Presiding Spirit here today, Dost lead the revels of the May; And this is thy dominion. |

From: Noreen Jim Magean reckoned any Irish song with "linnet" in it implied the "linnet" was a republican sympathiser. I've never come across that, Mr Red, but I know an irish traditional song called the Green Linnet, where the linnet refers to Napoleon Bonaparte.... |
