  1. Songs

    in many counties I have been

    Songs are sung by Mrs. Murray Kinkeen (82) which were composed by her father. She sings nine or ten with 80 to 100 lines in each.
    In many countries I have been
    And lasses I've seen many O.
    The fairest lass that e'er I've seen
    Is charming dark-haired Annie O.
    She has my heart entire in woe
    I love her beyond many O.
    The ruling empress of my soul
    Is charming dark-haired Annie O.
    (The above old lady is at present ill but I may get the songs later & forward them).
