So touching. Memories of my Grandparents and how they cried when we left their home to return to Scotland after our holidays. God rest their souls.

Always makes me cry. I think about my grandparents leaving their parents, never to see them ever again. I can't even imagine never seeing my son ever again. So, heartbreaking.

Lyrics:(closest I could find) Not far from Miltown Malbay if you travel south a small way, To a place called Bonavilla in the pleasant County Clare. Where there lived a widow lonely with her one daughter only, Who stayed at home to care her while the rest were gone away. Now this poor old woman weeping and her daughter she was sleeping, Wearied from her toils, 'twas the eve of Christmas day. They got letters, they got money, they felt lonely somehow funny, And to her sleeping daughter these words she then did say: “Oh then Kate a-stór, you’re sleeping while my eyes are ever weeping, Weeping for those little ones that’s gone so far away. Won’t you read again that letter, somehow it makes me better, Each time I hear the news of them that’s in Amerikay. Oh the kitchen here was full of them and one by one the lot of them, Sailed out across that great big sea to that land so far away. And now each little motion on the wide and fretful ocean, Falls heavy on the mother’s heart this blessed Christmas Day. 'Tis well I do remember the bleak day in December, When the neighbors laid your father in his narrow bed of clay. Then I prayed God would be taken, [I prayed to God to take me], For my heart was well near breaking, Myself and all those little ones that Blessed Christmas Day. But the yellow waves were shining with their creamy deep grey lining, And they stole the children of my heart to that land so far away. First went Dick and Nelly, then little blue-eyed Willie, Oh ‘tis far ye’re from a mother’s care this Blessed Christmas Day. Next went brown haired Mary herself and Tommy Carey, Slipped down across to Father Pat before they sailed away. It was the lucky marriage, for she’s rolling in her carriage, Around the streets of Broadway this Blessed Christmas Day. And that little wild lad Davy, with the flaxy hair so wavy, He’s singing Irish songs for them tonight in old Broadway. If I was only near him, to hear the big crowds cheer him, ‘Tis a mother’s heart would swell with pride that Blessed Christmas Day. Now what’s the use in talking, Seánín was hardly walking, When I saw him climb upon the cliff and look across the bay. My bitter tears were falling, sure I knew this day was calling, The only tree around [treasure of] my heart that Blessed Christmas Day. But the yellow waves are shining and mo bhrón ‘tis I am pining, To sail upon the top o’ them to that land so far away. Won’t you read again that letter, somehow it makes me better, Each time I hear the news of them that’s in Amerikay. (Might be slightly different. Found these lyrics from a different version) Blessed Christmas Day (Roud 5220) Martin Junior Crehan Bonavilla, Mullagh Recorded 1987 Carroll Mackenzie Collection
