Yeah, we listened to the songs and typed in the lyrics and nothing came up:/

Both my music teachers thought Irish but when I told them the options they said probably scottish:/

Do you have some of the lyrics, I would like to have a try on a few sites. I was wondering if they were Irish migrant songs i.e. from USA
