Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Far from My Home (Alfred Williams coll.)
Interesting hybrid.
Verse 1 - 'The American Stranger'.
Verse 2 - 'The Town of Castle Dolliford' (or 'Streams of Lovely Nancy'.
Verse 3 - 'The Boys of Kilkenny'
Verse 4 - 'Green Grows The Laurel' - and, as leeneia said, used as floaters for many other songs.
Where did you get it - can't find it in the 'Upper Thames' collection?
