这歌是一个小伙向个姑娘求婚，求姑娘和他一起美国， 姑娘却说她舍不得自己的家乡
。
我喜欢下面的版本，民歌的味道更浓。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP15bKvUpdw
另外一首歌也很好：我的老公在美国。是说媳妇在故乡，想念在美国的老公。 这些歌
都和爱尔兰移民美国有关。 以前文豪贴过一个是kilkily镇也是，不过是父亲对儿子思
念。

Letters from Kilkelly
http://jeffsnow.net/Kilkelly_Letters.html
In 1855 John Hunt left his family's home in Kilkelly Ireland and came to the
United States. When he left Ireland, John Hunt was 13 years old. He
settled in Maryland, found a job, got married and had children. He never
returmed to Ireland and never saw his family again.
Without cell phones and the internet, communication was with the annual
family letter. In the 1970's these letters were discovered by songwriter
Peter Jones. He wrote the ballad that tells the story of the Hunt family.
There are about 20 letters over a period of 35 years. The first and last
letters are below
Orlaur January the 24th 1858
My Dear and Living Son
Received your long wished for letter on the 22nd instant and I felt very
much delighted at hearing that you are enjoying good health as I and your
mother your brothers and sisters are at present thanks be to God. I am happy
to state to you that your mother's health is very good at present and she
is desirous to lay it as an obligation on you to avoid going to work in a
railroad or any dangerous work. Your brother Thos. and wife are in good
health and they got another son called Michl. Denis Kern's wife and family
are quite well at present. The Clooniron people got no letter from America
since May went. I am surprised that you forgot mentioning about your comrade
boy John O' Connor, or is he still along with you or not. We are all very
sorry that you did not come home before you went off it grieved your mother
very much, whereas you did not come to pay her a visit and see the friends
and neighbours before your emigration and we very lonesome after you but we
expected that the day will come that we may see you in your native land in
joy and happiness.
I mean to inform you that the friends and neighbours feel very happy at the
good account we have received from you. I will expect that you will abstain
from the drink in that Country as well as you used to do when in this
Country. Let cheapness of it not induce you to have any recourse to drinking
and intoxicate you at anytime. I hope that as you went to that Country you
will make the most of your time that you possibly can and consider in
yourself that it is not to remain during life you emigrated but to realize
your fortune so that I can expect that after spending 4 or 5 years in that
Country you may come home amongst your friends and neighbours amongst whom
you would find pleasure, not withstanding the consolation and comfort you
would derive from being among your brothers, who feel very sorry for your
absence, but we hope that it is not a departure during life that you will
have some nights of pleasure as yet in your own native village. I am sorry
that I have not some news of importance to state to you, but I am of the
opinion that in answer to your next letter I may have some news to relate. I
am of opinion that after the Shrovetide there might be some marriages or
some news besides, the hearing of which might be some interest to you. There
are none of us yet, except Denis Kern's daughter, who stopped in Clooamma,
who got married to a boy from Glanvolley, and I hope that you will write to
us frequently as we would wish how often we could get a letter from you and
always stating to us about the state of the Country, and that things that
come under your notice as what may appear insignificant to you may interest
the relations and the rest of the family. I hope that when you are writing
again you direct it to Mr. O'Grady, fearing that you might forget, you will
direct as thus In Care of Francis R. O'Grady Esq., Tavrane, Kilkelly by
Swinford County Mayo Ireland, for Bryan Hunt of Orlaur, and I will expect
you to write to us very often as you can write yourself. I hope that you
will not leave us long uneasy at any time I, and all the family join with
love and best respects to you and you will accept from friends in general
who are to numerous to insert. Peter Farrell talk of coming on Eastrickmas,
but you know coming on the time of writing another letter to you if he does
I remain your ever loving father, Bryan Hunt.

My Dear Brother John,
I received your letter this morning, I was very happy to hear that you and
your family were enjoying good health, which is a blessing we all enjoy here
. I thank God, I hope you will excuse me for writing at the time Father died
, Mr.Mack ascertained to me that he would write to you and send you all
particular accounts about Father's death and sister Mary, I understand it
must be the cause he did not write about the first of October. He came to
visit father at that time he requested him write to you, he always felt
uneasy about you and Brother Michl. and your families until he departed, he
kept preying and calling for you, he was in very good health until about 2
months before he died and very good feeling too. He was entered in the
churchyard of Aughamore along with mother may the Lord have mercy on their
souls, sister Mary died with 3 days sickness. The children are in good
health they are doing well they keeping the public business, still two of
them are good girls only that they fell lonesome after their Father and
Mother may their souls rest in peace; I mean to tell you that we did not
hear anything about your letter until now nor we got no glimpse of the
likeness we would have great welcome for it if we got it. I trust you will
send it again we have a girl here of the name, we would wish to see it, I
guess I told you before about our family, we have now six boys and three
girls, we are enjoying good health at Present except Patsy is getting poor
health.
