Does anyone out there possibly have the lyrics to the Enda Kenny song Michael, a song about the life of Michael Kennedy? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Sandra he has only recently written it and has performed it on his current tour of Ireland. It's just a lovely song.

I think that's one he tried out on us when he dropped into Herga a couple of weeks ago - in any case I hope to hear it on 18 May next year when he's coming back as the booked guest!

I'll have to ask him to sing it at my club when I next book him!

No Taoiseach quips yet?

The Enda Kenny we're talking about is an Irish-born Australian folk-singer and songwriter.

Send him an email through his website and ask him for the lyrics. He's a pretty cool dude, I'm sure he'd be only too pleased to think that you would like to sing one of his songs.

our Enda has been famous for decades, your Enda is a Johnny-come-lately!
He was elected Taoiseach on March 9, 2011.

Thanks Sandra - the older you get, the more people you get to know.
For one awful moment I thought...... those bloody politicians get everywhere.

Thanks for the interest shown and having listened carefully to the song some of the lovely words come clear from different parts of the song:

He was a country boy with an Irish name
He lived out west of Melbourne where we settled when we came.

They walked among us, they walked among us
Even if it's only for a while
They walked among us, they walked among us
Even if it's only for a while
And every time I think of him I smile".
