The Barack Obama Irish Song

Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland. It has a population of approximately 300 people and has a Roman Catholic Church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station, and two pubs.

President-elect of the United States Barack Obama's great-great-great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, immigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County, Indiana. Kearney's father had been the village shoemaker, then a wealthy skilled tradesman.


And now for the SONG. Crank up your speakers.
