Send us Fan MailThe Mountains of Mourne, Episode 159This song written in 1896 by Percy French is a singalong favorite among Micks everywhere. It is a satirical and humorous treatment about an Irish emigrant in London seeing big city things never before seen. He writes back naively to his sweetheart in the Mountains of Mourne about digging for gold in the streets and other funny things.Support the show
