Subject: Lyr Req: The Blazing Star Of Athenry
This song was recorded by Norman Payne, a singer who entertains regularly at The Irish Village in Hyannis, MA on Cape Cod. It is about a soldier who is mortally wounded on the battlefield and his last thoughts are about the sweetheart he left behind him, whom he describes with the title of this song. SOL ZELLER
