About the last verse: the penalty, though not death, is apparently deportation to one of the colonies, ie, America, Australia, or New Zealand. She takes back all her jewelry but the one gold ring, which was probably all she could claim as hers alone, the jewelry was usually entailed to the estate. Women could not generally inherit, it would go to the eldest male relative. She may have bargained for Jamie's life by ar=greeing to stay with her father willingly.
The wealthy landowner was largely responsible for the livliehood of the surrounding area's people, both in terms of providing employment, supporting the local merchants and craftsmen, renting out land, & charity, etc. If he quit the land, in all probablility to return to England since most of the wealthy of Ireland were from conquering England, then those he left would be impoverished perhaps to the point of starvation. It was a serious threat in the time that this ballad is set.
So I figured out what is going on in the final verse. I think she tells him to think of her when he is in a foreign land because she cannot go with him because she is still bond to her father and I am guessing that if he is let go he will have to leave for one reason or another. Still unclear about the "quit the land" part though.
Does anyone have a description of what actually happens in this song? I get that the judge put it to the girl to say if Jamie was guilty or not, and that she and her father argued about this in front of him... But what I don't understand is a)Why does the Father saying he will quit the land act as a threat? and b) It sounds like in the last verse she frees Jamie but doesn't go with him and takes back all her jewelry except for one token he is to keep on his right hand. Is this all correct?
Superb talent-voice of an angel. See what happens when they combined Mike Oldfield's musical mastery with Cara's voice on Mike Oldfield & Cara Dillon - Man in the rain. (it was lipsynced by Pepsi but it is Cara's singing voice)

This isn't very good, anyone can do this. So you don't want to be listening to this, I will tell you what you want to listen to. You want to listen Catfish Blues by Hendrix. THAT is what you want.
first off she has a lot of talent. Otherwise she wouldnt have received two awards for rising teen of this century in Ireland. N' secondly she isnt ugly. She has that small daintiful look that makes her want to b ur gf.
she is beautiful and amazing she's my idol

Anyone noticed that the camera moved very cleverly to Sam's right hand when Cara sang "But a true lover's token wears on your right hand"?
A truly blessed woman she is, with this voice, this talent and this husband XD
