Margaret McGuinness Elliott’s memoir is entitled “My Life—An Adventure.” She was born in Ballymote, Sligo, in 1887 and immigrated to New York City in 1904. Margaret wrote this text between 1972 and 1974 but died before completing it. A companion memoir was written by Margaret’s niece, Alice McGuinness, between 1990 and 1991. I have found a version of the chorus in this book.
