This beautiful, haunting song tells the eternal story of unfulfilled love that is universal - boy meets girl, her family say no and she never gets to be with her man except in the afterlife when she returns to visit him.  He sadly laments what could have been in the song.  This is one of Ireland's all time great traditional ballads that will bring a tear to your eye.  We hope you enjoy Fiona's version of this heart-wrenching song!
