My favorite new to me thing this Christmas was hearing Bing sing, Christmas in Killarney. Do you know it?

I'm handing you no blarney, the likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney, with all of the folks at home.

I know it to sing it, but it doesn't translate well to guitar for me.

Of course, Bing singing any Christmas song is good for me.

Oh, that's a bummer. Anna and I liked it so much and thought it would be perfect for you...

It's not Christmas without Bing singing.
