    howiej I have done this song for my voice class and it’s REALLY easy to mess that part up – mostly because I get soooo into just producing the long, drawn notes that I find it hard to remember what I’m saying… haha

    There’s a secret in Ireland that the rest of us would do well to discover. When I first heard this song (on youtube) I couldn’t get it out of my mind for days.

    Maura O’Connell is breathtakingly amazing and Karen Matheson is wonderful as well. Thank you so much for uploading this!

  19. Sabrina Stead Said:

    I wonder if this song has any relation to the American folk song By the Banks of the Ohio? There is a hint that he may have tried to force her, and she may have drowned. If so, then the folks from Ireland coming over in the 1840s may have brought a version with them.
