This was my parents wedding song

old days gone by how times have changes

Barefoot in Mullyneeny brought me here. A memoir written by Bryan Gallagher. Lovely book. I was curious about this farewell song sung by a family on a grey dawn as one of them left for America. The whole family gathered to sing as he left in the pony trap that day. Made me wonder if he ever saw their faces, or they his, again. Very good book.

Beautiful

I learned this song at 2 or 3 years old from a man in Coolea, Co. Cork. It really brought back memories, as I probably haven't heard it in over 50 years. Thank you.

The sweetest off all the roses are always the ones from home.Take care ADomovan43

Should have given the poor lad a twin wheel barrow for the bog

god bless his farmers tan.

right back at you. :)

this is sung to the same tune as Wind that shakes the corn, it sounds like.

That's Errigal in the background. Buncrana is on Lough Swilly.

The wolfe tones version is very good

geeeze, so much for flotation tyres ,,, is that a bicycle wheel on the bog barrow? Donegal did'nt have the "appliance of scence" like 'the Wessst' using low ground pressure- wide wooden wheels!!

Anyone know the Crossans from Glen Swilly,my Granpa was a Crossan
