Summary
This song fragment is about the despair felt by someone having to leave their home in Donegal.
Item Notes
3 verses only. Text very similar to that collected in 1927 from Jim Moore of Bushmills in Co. Antrim, in 'Sam Henry's Songs of the People' (Huntington & Hermann, 1990, p. 210). The Henry version has 6 verses however.
