GUEST,O Faolain Origins: Weela Weela Walia /Wela Wolla (84* d) RE: Origins: Weela Weela Walia /Wela Wolla 22 Feb 09


My father told me years ago that the song was based on a grandmother whose family had died during the Famine and when it was just her and the baby left rather than watch it die of starvation she killed the baby.I cant find a true timeline on the song and was wondering if anyone heard anything similar or it was an old wives(Fathers) tale.
