This song is a traditional Irish folk song, concerning a rural courtship in the West of Ireland. The first known version was collected by Sam Henry from Bridget Kealey in Dungiven in 1936. Here the man falls in love with a girl who has no interested in modern trappings such as jewels or make up, but instead wears a bonnet and is draped in a beautiful Galway Shawl.<br />
