Thread Name: Lyr Req: Famine song
Subject: Famine song
Hi, I'm looking for the words of a song about the famine in Ireland. I don't know the name of the song but i do know that the song was about a father that wrote a letter to his son in England(I think)telling him that food was becoming scarce and that his mother was becoming weak, later the father writes again to say that his mother has died and then later still the son receives a third letter, this time from his brother back home in Ireland saying that his father has passed away. That is the general theme of the song and I would very much appreciate it if anyone out there, who has the the words, could forward them to me.

Thanking you, Treasa.
