The Color of St. Paddy’s Day: “Green, Green” by The New Christy Minstrels

So, I’m all ready to go to work today, and I remember it’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I have to go hunting for something green to wear.

On the way to work, I think of the song “Green, Green”,” kind of a bouncy little folk song my parents used to listen to, and I think it sums up the feel of Ireland, even though it’s not an Irish song.

 The quintessential version is by The New Christy Minstrels, and it’s available on Freegal.
