Go to Youtube and type in shamrock.



If it is there you will see it if not find any old Irish song and email the uploader to see if they have it.



There are so many entries under shamrock you will have to be more specific. Try "Shamrock Shore" in the search box, it might be the one you are after.
Reply:I afraid this is the only three leaf shamrock I know.

A traditional Irish song,so definitely old.



If this is it,then I know a bloke called Hugo Duncan sang it on 'Irish Favourites'



Three Leaf Shamrock



In the dark, a ship was anchored

On a bright St Patrick's Day

On the quay a lass was sighing

For her lover going away

In her hand she held an emblem

And its small green leaves were three

And her parting words were "darling,

Look at this and think of me"



cho: Three leaf shamrock I adore thee

You three leaves I long to see

When there's brighter days in Ireland

I'll come home and marry thee.



Just before the ship had started

As she'd laid her land on mine

Just before that we had parted

She looked with loving eyes so kind.

But tonight I am an exile

Far from home, and far from thee

When there's brighter days in Ireland

I'll go home and marry thee.



(repeat chorus
