Hi all ---

We have a Monday nite singer at the Greeen Briar in Boston looking for the lyrics to "West of the River Shannon".

He may only be close to the title???

If we can find it he'll have a nice Galway smile for all.

Thanks once more,

Bill

Thanks MMario I also looked for the words and could not find ---- maybe there is only music w/o LYRICS! (hard to believe, an IRISH song and no words!!!)

Can't find it. Only one or two songs with "River Shannon" in the title.

I hazard that the lyrics we are looking for are

West of the OLD River Shannon

Give it a listen at

Words are clear and the singer is really good. .
