Barry Origin: Red Haired Man's Wife (more info needed) (27) RE: The Red Haired Man's Wife (more info needed) 05 Dec 97


More verses, from the singing of Sean Cannon

Ah, remember the day that I gave to you my true heart When you solemnly sore that no more we ever would part But your mind's like the the ocean each notion has taken her filght And left bewailing the red haired man's wife.

I straight took my way next day through a shady green grove And crossed purling streams where sweet birds mostly do rove Thence I was conveyed to where nature boasts with her pride Where I stood all amazed & gazed on the red haired man's wife

Dan Milner, in his Bonnie Bunch Of Roses, states this was influenced by the older Gaelic song "Bean An Fhir Ruaidh". Any further direction & input, please. Barry
