Seems I am always asking for help. Sat. night while at a talent show a lady got up and sang a song from Ireland that she and her mother had heard about why the Irish left Ireland to come to America during the famen. It spoke of a lot of reasons they left. I was going to remember the name of the song but now can only come up with .. it started with an S and ended with ree, I think. Any body got a clue of what I'm talking about? Hope so, I also for got the ladies name. bet

That´s the song Liam Neeson starts reciting in the film Michael Collins when he is asked to sing something.
