Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pat McCarty
Subject: Lyr. Req: Pat McCarty
There was a song my mother used to sing called "Pat McCarty". It was about an Irish farmer from Oregon who made a visit to NYC and was completely taken aback by the high prices of everything. There was a chorus in which he says "I wanna go back to Oregon". Being that my mother remembered when the Titanic went down, I estimate that this song must have been around in the 1920s. The first line of the song was "Pat McCarty hale & hearty living in Oregon". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks   SOL ZELLER
