Aha- Patagonia " I maun cross the sunny line" duh- below the equator, Definitely NOT NE north America *grin* But I have found some similar songs in collections here.

Another of my favorites is Daniel Monroe / Sons of North Britain. Will post later

Also, for Gaelic songs see " The Emigrant Experience- songs of Highland Emigrants in NOrth America" by Margaret MacDonell Univ of Toronto Press 1982
