GUEST,Heely | Need Irish Emigration song for schools (12) | RE: Need Irish Emigration song for schools | 30 Jun 03 |
A couple songs that I have had success with in schools are " Danny Boy" (though it is more modern, but a great story of emigration) and "Botany Bay" - the Sea Chantey. "Botany Bay" teaches of the crew of the emigration ships and the plight of the Scotch-Irish convict ships to Australia. Remember, "Danny Boy" was written by a father to his son who was emigrating to America. |
