Hands up who hasn't fallen in love with Karen? - Her voice could command me anytime anywhere, even if it where to jump off a cliff ... and I would go willing! - She nearly brings me to tears - Great song from our cousins just a few miles away. Thanks - Gerry from Dublin - Don't be strangers!

... one of the great waulking songs. The work was hard and the song was a way to help lighten things a bit. Bonnie Karen Matheson brings the the tune to life and fills our hearts with it.

Actually, the rhythm works when you've got a yard of dirt in your driveway, and you have to shovel it into a wheelbarrow all by yourself, and then into the garden. Pump shanties work, too. Work songs are work songs are work songs.

"Waulking songs (Scots Gaelic: Òrain Luaidh) are Scottish folk songs, traditionally sung by women while waulking cloth. This practice involved a group of people beating newly woven tweed rhythmically against a table or similar surface to soften it. Simple, beat-driven songs were used to accompany the work."--wikipedia
Somewhere, on YouTube, is a vid of a "living history" museum in Argyll, Scotland. The women are "waulking" the cloth in one scene. :-)

"I have to make an awful confession...
I used to think that 'waulking songs' were a Scottish spelling of 'Walking songs' like in Hiking *hangs head in shame* "
But tourists and mountaineers alike are allowed to sing them as well anyway, right? ;-)
