Thread Name: Origin: Shall My Soul Pass through Old Ireland
Subject: Shall my Soul pass thru Old Ireland
I was researching the "Legend of the Rebel Soldier," and there was a reference to its progenitor "Shall my Soul Pass thru old Ireland." What is the origin/age/chords of "Shall my Soul Pass through Old Ireland?" I live in an area that is surrounded by US Civil War battlefields (ie Chickamauga), and there is always interest in Civil War songs. The Irish version of this would be wonderful history!!!!
