Subject: Looking for the words of this song
Hello, I've been looking for the words of this song for a long time now and will not rest until I find them.I cannot remember the name of the song itself but hopefully with your help I'll find it.
Here goes.....
I left ould Ireland long ago
When I was scarce sixteen.....
..I thought I would return again.......
..But years went by..........
Now I'm dying in Amerikay
Far far from my native land.
I don't even know if this in itself was a verse, they are all the words I can think of so please hepl me out.
Please e-mail lyrics if you find them. Requestor still posts at Mudcat as of 2002.
