Song: Ged Tha Mi Gun Cròdh gun Aighean
9th December 2025 – Ged Tha Mi Gun Cròdh gun Aighean
The song is composed by a woman who’s love may have either enlisted in the army or been coerced into the army. She also mentions he has gone to Jamaica which could also suggest he’s been deported as was the case during the time of the clearances. She tells there is no point weeping which suggests he is not coming back. She has no dowry but she is pretty and is a skilled seamstress so she’ll be ok.
