Thread Name: Lyr Req: I'm On My Way to Dublin Bay (S Murphy)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Michael Shea song Dad taught me
Miraculous!! Thank you many times over. I had the melody stored in my brain and it was right. The second verse was mostly missing from memory, also few words different. These computers and the internet are a marvel to an old schooler like me.
Think about this! I`ll bet my ancestors never visualized one of their descendants looking for a WW1 song that they probably sang. And I`ll also bet your descendants never thought you`d be locating that song, for a man of Irish extraction. Great new world, ain`t it?
I`m on my way to break out the guitar and record it and put it on a CD for my grandkids to learn and sing! Thanks again.
