Hi all,
I'm looking into a song that was apparently known to be sung in Donegal to emigrants leaving for NA in the 1800's. There is brief mention of this in several books, but no name/tune/lyrics. I don't know if it has any connection to droichead na ndeor, in Donegal, but was rather just a traditional parting tune sung to the emigrants. I also unfortunately have no idea if this was in Irish or English (either would do fine). I'm assuming the obvious ones are not it as they are all later broadsheets (i.e. Cutting the Corn in Creeslough, The Shores of Amerikay, green fields of canada, etc.)
Anyone know what this might be?
Thanks
Dónall
