Carrig Down by Seán Cannon

Описание к видео Carrig Down by Seán Cannon

The song, telling of the flight from Ireland of Sarsfield's "Wild Geese", was reputedly written by Denny Lane (1818-95) from Cork and first published in the "Nation" on 15 February 1845. It was then called "Lament of the Irish Maiden: A Brigade Ballad", shortened to "Carrigdhoun".

When Thomas Davis, the "Nation's" editor, saw it he is supposed to have said to have asked "Why don't you write more songs"?

Lane was a Young Irelander and was jailed at the time of the 1848 Revolt.
