Bridie Gallagher - Cutting the Corn in Creeslough

Lyrics:
"Dear Danny I'm taking the pen in my hand, to tell you we,re just out of site of the land. In a grand Ocean Liner I'm sailing in style. but I'm sailing away from the em'rald isle, and a long sort o'sight seems to come from us all as the waves hit the last bit of auld Donegal, Oh it is well to be you that is taking yer tay where Cutting the Corn around Creeslough to-day"

One of my favourite Irish songs though it is sad really. I’ve had this song in my head all day since learning of the terrible tragedy in Creeslough . May they rest in peace and their families be comforted by our Blessed Mother.🙏🏻

Ah Liam and Kat, like yourself, when I heard of Creeslough all I could think of was Bridie and the dear Creeslough folk, Firstly God rest the 10, God help healing the poor families, Bless all, and lets not forget beautiful Bridie resting in peace in heaven.

I remember hearing this song regularly on the Waltons radio programme as a child. It made me shed a tear even then. It's really heartbreaking now. RIP all those gentle souls😪

Heard this when I was a child in my Dublin home living in London now for long time I’m always sad when I hear this song ❤

Lovely rendition of this Percy French song. a nice reminder of my visits to Creeslough, and a drink or two in "The Corncutter's Rest." Thanks for sharing.

Written by Percy French. As an undergraduate at Trinity College Dublin, he wrote Abdul Abulbul Amir, but it got pirated before it could be copyrighted.. My childhood memories of this song is the version sung by Brendan O'Dowda
