130 years after his great grandfather left the small village of Kilkelly, Co. Mayo, Peter Jones found letters sent 2 him by his father in Ireland. The letters tell of family news, births, death, sales of land and bad harvests. They remind the son, that he is loved, missed & remembered
by his family in Ireland. The final letter informs him that his father, whom
he has not seen for 30 years, has died, the last link with home is broken.
A grand song! Reminds me of my grandfather who left Donegal to come to America in 1910. He sent money home to help his family but never did return. I've been back 5 times to Ardara Co. Donegal. Had to have been hard to leave. Looks a lot like Western Montana.
love the song,scottland, ireland tell the best tales and sing the best songs, live long and sing often..

This has got to be the most haunting song ever sung. You'd wonder why he never came back to visit?

Due to our economic mess, I've had to leave our shores to find work to feed my family, to hear this song makes my eyes well up. :-(

Peter Jones used these letters to make this song.
