Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Michael Shea song Dad taught me
See what 75 years does? I had this copied and ready to send and forgot to paste it. Sheesh!
Michael Shay marched away, one day, With the Dublin Fusileers. He left the town in,cheers, But he left his girl in tears. In the rattle of the battle, Michael stood the test, He got a sargents uniform, and a medal on his chest. He got a six months furlough, and started on his way, And you could hear him singing as he set out that day. Chorus Goodbye, I'm on my way, to good old Dublin Bay, That's why I'm feelin' gay, 'cause, oh I know Sweet Molly'0, My colleen fair to see, is waitin' there for me, Her heart with love 'a bubblin', on Dublin Bay
