True story, there are pubs in Ireland where they sing Country Roads every night. I don't know why, but they do. 
Yah my Dad is Irish, they love country and western. ay country and western comes from Ireland.

True enough.
The Irish are great storytellers and that comes through in their music and yes, their legacy in the south (particularly in the Appalachian region), along with that of Scottish and Welsh immigrants, lives on.

I didn't know that. Totally makes sense, though. I've never heard it that way, but it totally sounds like a traditional Irish sing-along song.
Supposedly, the song was originally intended for Johnny Cash but John Denver heard and liked it.

And they do... everyone in the pub claps hands and sings along with the band.
And I didn't know that. I can almost hear his voice:
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye
True story, though once he heard it and talked friends and songwriters Taffy Nivert, and Bill Danoff into not giving it to Cash he re-worked the song with them, with enough of a contribution that he ended up with a cowriting credit.
It's a great song to listen to with an open roof on a trip through woodlands. That's how I first heard it and how I always think of it.

Well, I don't know that you know it's a true story at all. Do you? I've also read that the song was basically stolen from another writer who actually did live in WV (Nivert/Danoff and John Denver have admitted they'd never been to WV, and said they based the song on a postcard). If you can prove any of it one way or another, then by all means, say it's a true story... Otherwise, it's something you've read, and "supposedly" works just fine.

and left the Shamrock shores.
