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.
