Somewhere, buried away in my parents' house, I have a 45 of Give Ireland Back To The Irish. They certainly played it on the radio over here, because that is where I would have heard it before I went to the five and ten to get the 45. Can't remember what was on the flip side.

I always liked Okie From Muskokee, which someone mentioned. Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, George Jones, Faron Young, and such were always popular music on the local radio station. I can never think back to getting a haircut without remembering that kind of music playing in the background, and hearing the men in the barber's chairs complain about The God Damned Yankee Draft Dodgers who were moving up here to spread sedition and put barbers out of business. Stand By Your Man, by Tammy Wynette, was another favourite in the barber shop.

Merle sung Okie like he meant it, but today you only hear it sung ironically.
