- Eileen Donaghy singing The Little Old Mud Cabin.
Go sell the pig and the cow and all, and we'll take you far away,
For your dear old parents you must leave behind.
Go and seek your fortune far away in a land across the sea,
For in Paddy's land it's poverty you'll find.
Those were the words my mother spake as I left old Ireland,
And the sad farewell is in my memory still,
As I placed that bundle on my back, and I left for ever more,
From yon little old mud cabin on the hill.
CHORUS: Oh, for the roof was thatched with yellow straw, and the walls were white as snow,
And the turf fire boiled the pot; I see it still.
Old Ireland's engraven in my heart. It's the place where I was born,
In that little old thatched cabin on the hill.
I still can see the turf fire with my mother by its side,
My dear old father sitting by her side,
His pipe is lit and the smoke ascends, and they're thinking of the time
When they sent their darling boy across the tide.
No more I'll see them dancing on yon kitchen floor
To the music of the bagpipes loud and shrill.
No more I'll see the happy times that we had in days of yore,
In yon little old mud cabin on the hill. CHORUS
Beautiful singing got me feeling homesick

Absolutely brilliant, thanks so much Lorgain for sharing. It must be nearly half a century ago now, since I saw Eileen singing at a dance in Dungloe, she had a lovely voice. boy that admission has made me feel old lol.

Very nice. There's something special about a thatched house. I enjoyed the song, even if the lyrics at the side are different! Great photos too :-)
