Before my mother was even a thought in my Irish immigrant grandparents' minds, her father used to sing this love song to her mother. Sadly, he died two months before my mother was born (Mastoid) but her mother spoke often of their undying love for each other. His name was Carroll. My grandmother named my mother Carolyn in his honor. She loved this song.

I heard her singing this song in Salt Lake City around 1990, or so, she was with De Danaan and it was first time I'd ever heard the song. Later I bought their LP and have enjoyed it! But, in the meantime, I've found that this is a really old song and probably should be sung by a male voice. But, where I come form, a song is a song and Miss O'Connel's voice is wonderful!

Hi Sam. Thanks for posting but I must respectfully correct you re the 'performing troupe.' They are in fact the one and only Chieftains and if you look closely you'll see one of the greatest violin/fiddle players Mark O'Connor playing a mean guitar and the untouchable Gerry Douglas on dobro.

GR8 band, Gr8 singer. 'I' would have liked the earlier verses a little lighter. Less mournful. At least a tad up tempo. The last verse could then have the 'change'. I think this O'Casey version is marginally better than "When You & I Were Young, Maggie". For Nora Clitheroe.
