Thread Name: looking for a Shenandoah Run song
Subject: looking for a Shenandoah Run song
Yesterday my daughter and I attended the Folklore Society of Greater Washington Midwinter Festival. While we were in the "Cafetorium", a group was performing - I believe they were called "Shenandoah Run", and the program described their music as "Collegiate 60s folk".

They performed a song that may have been about a mine disaster. My daughter remembers the following lines from the song:

'cause Ireland's got your back.
Tell God and the Devil they can die
but today's not gonna be the day we die.

I don't guarantee that I have those lyrics 100% correct.

Can anyone tell us what this song is?

Don
