Thread Name: Lyr Req: Carroll Ban
Subject: Carroll Ban
Anyone have the lyrics to "Carroll Ban"? Blurb from old "The Ludlows" LP album jacket: "A beautiful and tragic Wexford ballad of 1798 where a girl watches her sweetheart's execution for his part in the abortive uprising. Tom Moore, a piper in Dublin--and a Wexford man--gave the song to Sean [Loughran]." I love the song but can't catch all of the words. Thanks very much. Up Wexford!
