Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
"The Youth of the Heart" and "Connemarra by the Lake"...both songs are about a fellow who goes away to work and save money so he can provide for the woman he wants to marry...in song 1 the female tires of waiting and marries someone coincidentally on the same day her former beau returns...in song 2, the female is told her beau had died and thus after 5 years marries someone else only to find that her former beau has returned...
