Walking to New Orleans

This time I’m walkin’ to New Orleans

When I get through walkin’ these blues
When I get back to New Orleans

Leprechauns – Ireland

There once was a young lady named Terri
So tired of snow it was scary
To Limerick I’ll go
With my husband in tow
And trade all this ice for a fairy.
