Late last night (Paddy's Day), a friend of mine found himself singing an Irish-American song with a chorus based on having a word for each of the letters in the word I-R-E-L-A-N-D. When someone commented "I've never heard you singing that one before", the reply was "Sure I've haven't heard meself singing it for at least thirty years!"

The problem is that he doesn't remember the "verse" - a long intro with a narrative thread, he thinks.

Any suggestions? A quick look in the DT doesn't show anything.

Regards

p.s. No! I can't remember the words of the chorus - this was Patrick's day, for God's sake!
