Summary
This waulking song is sung in three sections, separated by double choruses. In the first section, the composer asks if anyone has heard about the girl raped by young Neil on the top of a mountain. She wishes she could have been that girl. In the other sections, the author describes things she would like to do, if the man of her dreams was with her.
