Thanks Mate, very big fan of Waltzing Matilda.

I have walked that street many, many times, way to go. ☘️☘️☘️

[@Ritercrazy]

Goes something like this... My name is McNamara. I'm the leader of the band. Although we're few in number, we're the grandest in the land. We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball. But when we play at funerals, we play the marchers' sull (spl not sure what that word is). Dodedoo, de de de doo. Dodedoo. .............. That's all I remember of my mom singing it to me. Love my Irish roots.

[@Happy_Puffin]

My Irish half is smiling. It’s been decades since I’ve heard this happy song from my childhood. Thank you!💚

[@ZooZoo293]

My Dad was Irish through and through. He had a beautiful voice and growing up he sang lovely Irish ballads and drinking songs. I promptly went to Kindergarten and sang "Whiskey in the Jar", must to the consternation of poor Miss Browne. 😁

[@irishterminator.]

Your Dad taught you the best songs and you must pass them on to the next generation ☘️🇮🇪☘️👍

[@ZooZoo293]
