looking for a Shenandoah Run song

Subject: looking for a Shenandoah Run song
From: clueless don

Yesterday my daughter and I attended the Folklore Society of Greater Washington Midwinter Festival. While we were in the "Cafetorium", a group was performing - I believe they were called "Shenandoah Run", and the program described their music as "Collegiate 60s folk".

They performed a song that may have been about a mine disaster. My daughter remembers the following lines from the song:

'cause Ireland's got your back.
Tell God and the Devil they can die
but today's not gonna be the day we die.

I don't guarantee that I have those lyrics 100% correct.

Can anyone tell us what this song is?

Don

See if those lyrics ring any bells.

Hi, this is Johanna from Shenandoah Run. Guest is right that the song you heard was our version of the Solas song "Tell God and the Devil." Here is a video of us performing it a few weeks ago:

Thank you, Johanna. Had I searched the title on YouTube I would have found you. I didn't. My apologies, but thank you very much for the link :-)

Thank you, everyone! I obviously had some of the lyrics wrong, but we got there in the end.
