I am so very lucky to have Celtic roots as well as Indigenous I love listening to the music of my ancestors..My grandfather taught my family to be proud of who we are and to give thanks for all we have.mI dream of going home to Kilkenny Ireland some day 💚 Erin Go Bragh! 💚

The one and only magnificent Alison Krauss with the legendary Chieftains.Goosebumps!

[Jearbear]

Her voice fits Celtic music so well. I'm obsessed with her.

So sad, yet so beautiful. A perfect marriage of talents here. Alison's voice cuts right to the soul. The images depicted here are breathtaking as well.

Alison Krauss has a voice that can never be duplicated.
Long may she sing!
A friend of mine is a huge bluegrass fan and booked Alison for a number of the festivals he organized years ago.

My dad's pet name for my mum, my dad passed 30years ago and my mum 11years, This song brings a smile to my face. RIP my dearest parents.

I have seen the Chieftains in concert twice in Chicago. There are still many Irish Americans here who keep traditional music, dance and the arts alive. How many know Michael Flatley is from Chicago and danced his first steps here?

Beautiful song that harkens back to my Irish/Scottish heritage!

[janeirvine]

What a beautifully haunting song!
I've loved the Chieftains' music for years and Allison Krauses voice blends beautifully. I hope to find the live version on DVD. I used to have it but it went missing during a move. Thank you for posting. Blessings on you and yours.

A sad song. -- Lyrics
Come all ye young fellas
That handle a gun
Beware of night rambling
By the setting of the sun
And beware of an accident
That happened of late
To young Molly Ban
And sad was her fate
She was going to her uncles
When a shower came on
She went under a green bush
The shower to shun
Her white apron wrapped around her
He took her for a swan
But a hush and sigh
Was his own Molly Ban
He quickly ran to her
And found she was dead
And there on her bosom
Where he soaked, tears he shed
He ran home to his father
With his gun in his hand
Saying "Father dear father
I have shot Molly Ban"
Her white apron wrapped around her
He took her for a swan
But a hush and a sigh
'Twas his own Molly Ban
He roamed near the place
Where his true love was slain
He wept bitter tears
But his cries were in vain
As he look on the lake
A swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank
In the gray up sky

There was a live version of this that was removed. Shame. It was one of my favorites.

It's Ben Bulben in County Sligo in NW Ireland, a special place indeed, W.B. Yeats knew and wrote of it...<3
