Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shall My Soul Pass through Old Irelan
And of course, don't forget the Charlie Moore bluegrass song influenced pretty much in its entirety by Shall My Soul - the Rebel Soldier.

In a dreary Yankee prison, where a rebel soldier lay,
By his side there stood a preacher ere his soul should pass away,
And he faintly whispered 'Parson,' as he clutched him by the hand,
'Oh parson. tell me quickly, shall my soul pass through the Southland?'

A fine song, especially done by the Country Gentlemen, but lifted from 'Shall My Soul..'
