From: GUEST,Toenails John A few years ago on a programme broadcast by RTE, i forget the name of the programme, they featured a woman singing this song, Basically It's about a young man who emigrated from Ireland to the States, and as time went on, his mother decided to write him a letter, that she simply adressed, "Me son in Amerkay", needless to say it caused great consternation within the postal service, and i believe the letter was finally delivered. quite humourus, and it's on me mind at the moment, and i cant find any ref to it anywhere Any one out there have this by any chance? |

From: Malcolm Douglas Always try alternate spellings when using the very good onsite search engine we have here; particularly where "my" appears, as a lot of people insist on spelling it "me" if they think it's a folksong. my son in amerikay will find you a discussion of the song, with the additional information that it is in the DT as my son in americay. |
