Description:
Irish Emigration Ballad by Dolores Keane & John Faulkner. "As I was walkin' one morning all in the month of May To view all your mountains and valleys so gay, I was thinking on the flowers all going to decay That bloom around ye, bonny, bonny Slieve Galleon Braes. Full of times I have wandered with my dog and my gun, I'd ramble these mountains and your valleys for fun, But those days they now all over and I can no longer stay So farewell unto you bonny, bonny, Slieve Galleon Braes. How oft in the evening with the sun all in the west I walked hand in hand with the one I love best But the hopes of youth are ended and I am far away So farewell unto you bonny bonny Slieve Galleon Braes 'tis not for the want of employment at home That causes the son of ould Ireland to roam, But the rates were gettin' higher and I could no longer stay So farewell unto you bonny, bonny, Slieve Galleon Braes. Our isle it will be green and our cottages be gay Our children will be clothed and our wives will drink strong tea Oh you tyrannising landlords - I will no longer stay So farewell unto to you bonny bonny Slieve Galleon Braes." Dolores Keane (born 26th September, 1953) is an Irish folk singer and musician. She was a founding member and vocalist of De Dannan, and appeared on the self-titled debut album Dé Danann in 1975. In 1977, Dolores left the group to marry John Faulkner. (Both being multi-instrumentalists, they recorded three albums together.) Dolores played concertina, flute, whistle, hurdy gurdy, and bodhrán. The anthology A Woman's Heart (1992), with three songs by Dolores Keane, was one of the most popular folk anthologies of the nineties. Keane was born in Caherlistrane, County Galway, Ireland. She is a sister of musician Seán Keane. Her aunts Rita and Sara Keane are also singers. She has duetted with American singer John Prine on his album In Spite of Ourselves. In a slight departure, "Tideland" is a mixture of Irish and Norwegian songs, song by Dolores Keane and Norwegian singer Rita Eriksen. It was originally released in 1996 in Norway, but reached a larger audience when it was re-released
