It starts out like a story, "Threee years ago this very day I left the Port of Cork. And on a ship from Ole Erin's Isle I landed in New York..." Am trying to find all the lyrics for this Irish tune passed down through my family for generations. It ends with a snappy list of names like this, "There came, Brannigan, Flannigan, Milligan, Gilligan, Duffy, McLuffy, Malarkey, Malone, Rafferty, Lafferty, Donnolly, Connolly, Dooley, O'Hooley, Mahoney, Mahone. Hagen, O'Flagan, McGinnnis, McGinn and Pat O'Brien was late!

Anyone who has the lyrics, I would be so happy to have them all. Am going to sing some version of this at an Irish wake for my old uncle.

Thanks, An Irish Colleen
