Don't Run Down the Irish (My Father Was Born in Killlarney)

DESCRIPTION: "My father was born in Killarney, My mother was born in Cork; I've been taught to love old Ireland Ever since I could walk. So don't run down the Irish; If you do, you'll make me cry. For an Irishman I've always been, And an Irishman I'll die."
