Irish immigrant songs/letters from home

Subject: Irish immigrant songs/letters from home
From: GUEST,Geoff

OK, I don't have much to go on, here. A number of years ago I heard a song, probably on the "Thistle and Shamrock", that was taken from a bundle of letters to an immigrant from his/her home in Ireland. My memeory is that each verse ended with some variant of "When are you comming home?"

It's not much, but can anyone help me?

Geoff,

I don't often have the answer to one of these questions, but I knew this answer as soon as I read the "subject" or title of the thread earlier this morning.

When I clicked in , though, I was two or three minutes too late -- so, as far as I'm concerned, Curmudgeon was plenty quick enough at 11 minutes.
