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.

Great Song and a perfect band and vocal performance!

@watcherchill haha.. have a minute

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?

This is fantastic! I first heard this on the news show "Out of Ireland", of which I watch religiously. I am now a Cara Dillon fan.
