  • This is an American song which dates back to the 1800’s. The tune is older while lyricist is unknown but the lyrics can be linked to the American civil war. It tells the story of a man seeking shelter and falling in love with the woman who helps him. It is believed the lyrics are written around the time of the American civil war. There are references to foreign money being no good, which is believed to be confederate money. The song is performed most notably by Paul Brady and Andy Irvine. Not an Irish ballads but a beautiful ballad all the same. One of my all times favourite songs! Really enjoyed recording this one!

    Amazing Dan, literally unbelievable. I wish me Da was here to experience this, I'm living in the UK now and Everytime I hear any of your songs, it brings a tear to my eye. And I can relate to nearly all of them in some way. I'd say Fred o,Brian and Kevin McCarthy are smiling away up there.

    Beautiful!! I own a home in Slidell, Louisiana. I know Lake Pontchartrain very well. My late husband and I fished it often.
