PJ Curtis(The Burren)	Rocks of Bawn - Meaning? (138* d)	RE: ROCKS OF BAWN - MEANING?	26 Aug 99
Interesting debate this.'Bawn' in the context of this song means 'unplowed field' which the plowman had to face - a backbreaking job for the hired help. This song is really a work song; one of the few in the canon of Irish traditional song. Joe Heaneys' version is the classic rendition; though Paul Brady did a great version too.
