Dear Mick,

Many years ago you replied to a post about the song "Patrick Furey" or "Farewell to the Town of Galway". I had previously picked up the melody and two verses from some old compilation but in your post you supplied a third verse.

I have looked all over the internet for background on the song or recordings of the song and have come up with. How did you come up with the entire song?

I wonder why this song is not a little more popular. It may not be the greatest song ever written but the melody and chorus are nice.

Cheers,

Eric
