about

This is a song about a man who enlists in the army, attempts to abscond but is captured. The song lyrics are mainly about the importance of place as the raconteur describes how much he misses his family and his homeplace, County Mayo in the West of Ireland.
‘On Paidí Loinsigh’s ship, I am weary
Sobbing at night and crying in daylight
Now my mind has been dazzled so far from home
My word, I am grieving for County Mayo.’
