Subject: Lyr Req: Old Bally Mo
I'm looking for the lyrics to this song which starts out:

In the county Roscommon in the hailstorm and rain
I was crossing the fields on my way to the train.
I met a coleen and said she 'Do you know
The shortest short road into Old Bally Mo?'

I know it was recorded back in the late 40s, early 50s - my Mom had a 78rpm recording on the 'Celtic' label.

I've searched the places I know, but have had no luck. Thanks.
