Beautiful singing and melody but the drone of the instrument and the way it's played, sounds like an electrical substation about to blow!

It’s fifty-one spring-times since she was a bride, But still you may see her at each Whitsuntide In a dress of white linen and ribbons of green, As green as her memories of loving. The feet that were nimble tread carefully now, As gentle a measure as age do allow, Through groves of white blossom, by fields of young corn, Where once she was pledged to her true love. The fields they are empty, the hedges grow free, No young men to tend them, or pastures go see. They’ve gone where the forests of oak trees before Had gone to be wasted in battle. Down from their green farmlands and from their loved ones Marched husbands and brothers and fathers and sons. There’s a fine roll of honour where the Maypole once was, And the ladies go dancing at Whitsun. There’s a row of straight houses in these latter days Are covering the Downs where the sheep used to graze. There’s a field of red poppies, a wreath from the Queen. But the ladies remember at Whitsun, And the ladies go dancing at Whitsun.

​@@GigFilm1 I don't think that our version changes the meaning in any way - we haven't missed a verse / don't stumble over the lyrics etc. A couple of changes were conscious decisions (such as swapping the last lines), but apart from that it's normal "folk process" changes. Would you make a similar comment on a traditional song that has hundreds of variations because it wasn't written in living memory? (Just interested - not intended to sound rude)

@@RowanFolk The "folk process" occurs over time. The "correct" lyrics are available to this song. Does "a straight row of houses" mean the same as "a row of straight houses"?

@@GigFilm1 Yep 👍 it does to me. And the folk process very much happens even when the "correct" lyrics / melody are available... Sometimes within a year of a song or tune being written it's already changing in the hands of the people performing it. My own songs/tunes are performed differently all over the country in different ways and by different people... I really doubt Austin John Marshall would've minded!

Wonderful harmony. An old favourite song of mine, and this version (which I heard for the first time today) is the best rendition I remember. I loved the Tim Hart & Maddie Prior one, but this is pure class.

Doorus is just outside Kinvara on the Clare/Galway border (which is where Rowan grew up) so it’s lovely to really feel at home singing about the place in this song! The “brown boats” refer to the rusty coloured sails of the Galway hookers that sailed up and down this part of the west coast. Glad you’re enjoying the song! All the best, Rosie

What a great song Rosie! Your voice is so amazing and perfect to my ears, as soon as I heard your voice, I fell in love with it!. It’s an impressive performance, and we think you would be successful at Sessions, a live-streaming platform that allows artists to perform in front of a global audience from anywhere in the world. I have sent you an email with more information!

Any chance of the chords for the harmonium. I have just revived a small one and would like to accompany this song with it at our pub session. I can see a few notes played in the video but my ears aren't what they used to be and I can't work out the rest. Cheers Trevor

I have been searching for the perfect rendition of the beautiful song for a long time now and your version is faultless. No instruments are needed here, in fact it would detract from the pure deep emotion of the lyric. Although you may not have meant it to be I will say that you have presented a perfect tribute to all the brave soldiers who lost their lives in the bloody battle fields of the First World War. Thank you.

Warmest of greetings, Francis J Fahy. I’m one of your American cousins.Your Great Great Grandfather is my Great Great Uncle! His sister Mary married into the Kirwan family. Her daughter Norah (my Grandmother) emigrated to America a century ago to settle in Boston, married a Laurence O’Sullivan and started a family here. I’m so impressed w/ the tributes paid to Francis Fahy, renowned not just for his songwriting and poetry but for his great love of and devotion to Ireland and its citizenry. Blessings on you and yours! Your New England cousin, Va. Parker
