Shane's mum singing this song in the film is just how my grandma sounded. A song that allowed me to weep months after her passing over twenty years ago now Rest her soul
its my second favourite trad tune and my favourite song that wasn't written by Shane. no one else gets it right except maybe Finbar God bless both of them
Can't get enough of this song at the moment. Would love to know if any music/folklore people have done any research into it. Shane claims only his mum and a few other people hae ever been heard singing it, and it wasn't known outside Tiperrary before he recorded. Can that really be true? Certainly there are no recorded versions prior to 'Red Roses for me'. What a beautiful song, so short and simple and tragic.

I heard that John Francis Flynn (great musician) was looking into it, but I don't think much info has been found
Wow amazing.
