inquiries about downloading. I found that if I use Firefox search engine Youtube controls give a download option. Hope this helps.

@giraffeman3705 Folk songs are passed from hand to hand and change accordingly I was told the nonsense words were actually originally Gaelic and changed through the years being passes down .

if you want to hear the Suil A Ruin part more clearly, look up the Lord of The Dance Version.

@1918teardrop Actually it is spelled Siúil A Rúin and means Go, My Love. The Irish tune, "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier," and "Gone The Rainbow" are all very similar...and all are about a girl who is sad because her love is going away to be a soldier. They pronounce Siúil A Rúin differently, and I don't know for sure or not if those other things are just nonsense sounds, but the songs are definitely related a lot.

AN DOCHAS, an Irish band in Spokane, WA, performs a beautiful version of this song on their CD DRAGONFLY REDUX. It's entitled "Shule A Rue", which I am guessing is Irish/Gaelic for "Gone The Rainbow". You can hear An Dochas' version on Yahoo.

My mother used to sing this to me when I was little. Wonderful memories.
