Which of these are actual Irish songs and which ones are titles Molly and I made up the other night while drinking?
- Who threw the overalls in Mistress Murphy's Chowder
- I'll drink me stout til the River Shannon runs dry
- The dear little shamrock
- I nearly ran me pushcart over Mrs. O'Halloran yester morn
- Where the River Shannon flows
- Ay, when I'm sober, I could mistake ye for Kathleen
- A little bit of heaven (shure they call it Ireland)
- To me whiskey I'll be true until the morning sun rises
- Ireland must be a garden (if you are a wild Irish rose)
- Why must ev'ryone pick on dear ol' Eire, when me lovely Maggie lives there?
- Rory O'More
- Hennigan, I'll clip ye with me mug if ye calls me Welsh once more
- O Katy O'Neil
- O'Flynn has trodden in me shamrock garden
- Nellie Kelly, I love you
- Would I could return to the dear old sod, alas me wife won't go
- The prayties are dug
- It's me penny whistle, ere it cost me a quarter
- Get up old woman and shake yourself
- Hi-dee-hee-dee-too-la-deedle-die-day
- Smash the windows
- He wore a fine hat like an Englishman so I hit him with me shillaleagh
- Behind the bush in the garden
- Paddy O'Malley would be a fine lad for our Katy O'Rourke
I'm not offering any prizes or anything, because I'm sure it would be really easy to google the answers, but please post your best guesses as a comment.

Um, they're all real?
*bzzt* Sorry, you lose. But we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
23 is Fake
Sorry, m'dear, but you, too, are mistaken. See, this isn't as easy as it looks, is it?
For your parting gifts, we offer a set of Irish Rovers CDs and a Ginsu reed knife! ;)
HINT: 12 are real and 12 were made up by Molly and me.
23 is an actual song.
Do I get the home game as my parting gift? And a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni?
If #6 isn't real, we need to make it so. I'm hoping #8 is real as well.
6 and 8 are both fake. I think we should write all of the fake ones though.
