Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Song about the end of America
Great song Larry but I'm a bit confused about the air.
It looks to me as if it fits The Green Fields of Canada (Farewell to the land of Shilealigh & Shamrock), which is on one of the early Planxty Records. I'm aware of two songs called The Shamrock Shore, both recorded by Paul Brady - Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore (from Welcome Here Kind Stranger) or "The Shamrock Shore" which starts Ye Brave young Sons of Erin's Isle (which is on the Matt Molloy, Tommy Peoples & Paul Brady Record) but neither of these seem to fit the words.
There's another air that might fit on an Andy Irvine solo album (Rainy Sunday's/Windy Dreams?) that starts Farewell to oul' Ireland the land of my Childhood.
