By the Corrigan Brothers
Thanks to Paddy Anglican, who says:
You heard it first here! Strong rumours of an Obama visit to Ireland in June this year - The Corrigan Brothers have written a song for the occasion and have sent a copy to the Taoiseach to present to President Obama on St. Patrick's Day in Washington.
The White House discounts the rumors but says that Obama wants to visit Ireland sometime during his term. Who knows? The visit could happen.
The lyrics to the song may be found at Paddy's blog.
Paddy, aka as Stephen Neill, is named in the song:
I am an Anglican priest in the diocese of Limerick & Killaloe and fortunate enough to be the Rector of the Church where President Barack Obama's 3rd Great grandfather was baptized!
Perhaps he could pop next-door while he's there. It seems a shame to come all that way.....
ReplyDeleteWell now, DP, perhaps if you offered Obama church, lunch, and a movie....
ReplyDeleteO'Bama?
ReplyDeleteLapin, the better spelling, surely.
