“Where the River Shannon Flows”

Description

"There?s a pretty spot in Ireland, I always claim for my land, Where the fairies and the blarney Will never, never die." The singer recalls the land and the girl by the Shannon. He will not send a letter; he will sail home himself with news of his return

Notes

Another of Dean's pop songs; the Digital Tradition says that it was recorded by none other than Bing Crosby! - RBW
