17 Mursheen Durkin - Belfast Harp Orchestra Live in Downpatrick 1993

17 Mursheen Durkin

Vocal: Terence Blackburn

The tune of this song was originally ascribed to the song “Cailíní Deas Mhuigheo” (“The Beautiful Girls of Mayo”) but here it is the song of the labourer Carney, who is telling his boss, Mursheen, that he’s off to a better life in Americay
