What was Trevelyan (or his Land Agent) to do? Let the peasants steal the corn, only to find they starve even more in winter? The old saying is 'Give an inch, and they'll a mile'. Mind you she's a lovely singer - different to our Judith......Judith is Oz, Mary Irish.
Thanks for posting. Where can we (Americans) find a thumbnail sized history behind some of these Irish Songs? It will help us understand and better appreciate what we are hearing in the song lyrics and better understand the Irish as a people and some of their struggles.
Very beautiful voice and song.I like and enjoy listening ,.... specially "The White Rose of Athens"., and "The Yellow Rose". Am not tired of listening or replaying these songs.. Many thanks for sharing and for posting..
@sturmgesutz if this kind of music upsets so much why did u listen in the first instance.sad that you cant communicate your views without using foul language.
@sturmgesutz This song has much less political cogitations in the United States than it does in the British Isles. This is especially true in Texas where there is a heavy Irish presence, but where those of Irish decent consider themselves Texan above all else. Here, this is a song about the injustices shown towards the Irish during the 19th century and much less else. You being a culturally babied Brit obviously do not understand this. Notice, no IRA chants in this version.
I agree. Ireland and Texas actually have a lot in common musically. I'm irish-american. I love both. I don't discriminate on music, there's so much to like out there.
A Million Stars.....
You have a beautiful voice.
