No-one compares to you Dolores.....Happy May Morning.

*Dreólín is the Irish Gaelic word for wren. The Boys of Barr na Sráide (Written by Sigerson Clifford) O the town it climbs the mountain and looks upon the sea And sleeping time or waking time 'tis there I long to be To walk again that kindly street, the place my life began With the boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wran. With cudgels stout we roamed about to hunt the dreoilín. We searched for birds in every furze from Letter to Dooneen. We sang for joy beneath the sky; life held no print or plan And we boys in Barr na Sráide went hunting for the wran. And when the hills were bleeding and the rifles were aflame To the rebel homes of Kerry those Saxon strangers came But the men who dared the Auxies and who fought the Black and Tans Were the boys in Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wran. So here's a toast to them tonight, those lads who laughed with me By the groves of Carhan River or the slopes of Beenatee John Dawley and Batt Andy and the Sheehans Con and Dan And the boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wran. But now they toil on foreign soil where they have gone their way Deep in the heart of London town or over in Broadway And I am left to sing their deeds and to praise them while I can Those boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wran And when the wheel of life runs down and when peace comes over me O lay me down in that old town between the hills and sea I'll take my sleep in those green fields the place my life began Where the boys of Barr na Sráide went hunting for the wran.

The best sung of a great kingdom song and story

😂great so glad and singer

More power to you, darling.

My sister used to sing this to my mother in a jocose, teasing way. Now she is beneath the clay and it's all true.

What a voice and this woman can bring a song to life, what a singer - Maith sibh!

Dolores Your “May Morning Dew” is just out of this world… Your voice is the voice of Ireland.. Go mBeannai Dia Dhuit!!

Dolores really did justice to her musical inheritance,her aunts in Caherlistran, RIP.

This is without doubt the best rendition of this beautiful Kerry song by none other than Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. God blessed her with a great voice. 👍🇺🇸

this song is fab as is the singer well done,

Beautiful song and playing. I love this song, and used to play it on the accordion; now I am struggling to play it on the pan flute. Thank you for the musicians! Keep it up!

Based on an old Irish air... And all the better for it ( Sean O'Dwyer a gleanna)

Mile buiochas.

This is just pure magic, so much feeling for this beautiful song. Thank you Delores. I loved it so much for many a year

One of the best (and most underrated songwriters) in this whole motherfuckin world!! Amazing tunes, brilliant performer!! Saw him 26 years ago dancing at the tables at Whelans and will hopefully see him this summer again!!! Bless you, Pierce!!

Lovely

I first heard this song in my 30s. Now in my late 50s it hits differently.

Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh is the absolute best. Enough said

I remember in 1993 him singing on the top of a bar in New York City, very entertaining and authentic

As equally haunting as it is beautiful

It's amazing what a simple practice like clear enunciation can do for a vocalist

Awesome! Love that drone all the way through in the background.

Dolores Keane you are truly amazing woman the best woman that ever ever came from Ireland they never ever be a other woman that will ever ever be as good as you I love you Dolores ♥️🇮🇪💯😢

I think I've just discovered the most beautiful song on KZbin ......why is this lady not a household name ?

Stunningly sung, my ears are won..

A beautiful and moving creation. Pierce is certainly unique but I can't help hearing similarities between himself and Clifford T Ward. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXK0gaBsh5yke5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWfRiomVo9Odp9E

She gives this classic a beautiful sound ,,,,smashing

I love this beautiful, haunting version of May Morning Dew! It inspired me to make a Frisian adaptation of it, in case anyone is interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDVgHmhZpdpfs0

Beautiful.

What album is this gorgeous song on?

Foirfe

I'm not even Irish but I still find it very beautiful

she's also a really hot flute player

Beautiful and Irish. Don't let it die.

What a superb voice

I find Gaelga to be very difficult to learn as an adult, but still try.

Simply the best female singer beautiful xx

I would say rich and sonorous.

Simply outstanding. Got to be the best version ever
