Part A is the tune of a song my mother used to sing:
Shake hands with your uncle Dan, me boy,
And kiss your cousin Kate.
She’s the girl who used to swing
Down on the garden gate
Shake hands with all the neighbours
And kiss the colleens all
You’re as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donegal
A song as Irish as New York’s St Patrick day parade.
