Thread Name: The Yankee Boy (song)
Subject: The Yankee Boy (song)
Hello Was there ever a 78 recording of a song or a manuscript with these words: "And they call him the Yankee Boy", about an Irish lad in USA "on this, St Patrick's Day"....sorry that's all I remember.
My mother Nora McDermottroe 1925-1986 would have learned it from her mother Bridget McPartland 1890-1965 of Ballyfarnan in county Roscommon. They were reared listening to 78rpm records so I wondered would anyone have more of the words, please?
