Thread Name: the shamrock shore - not the usual one
Subject: RE: the shamrock shore -
Hi, Rick-
We have it listed in our Irish Songbook Index, under the index for Irish Emigrant Ballads and Songs:
THE SHAMROCK SHORE* 187
"Farewell, dear Erin's native isle,"
Source: "Irish Tunes Collected by Frank Kidson," Journal of the Folk-Song Society, no. 9 (the fourth part of vol. II), 1906, 255-56. At least two songs shared this title.
Irish Emigrant Ballads and Songs is a rare, expensive book. Let's see if somebody has the book and can post the lyrics.
Can you post what you have, to give us a start?
