This beautiful song always make me cry and I’ve just made the mistake of listening to it on the bus and the tears flowed again! Powerful song and powerful singer
Now there's a powerful song......hopefully, those religious hypocrites will listen & learn. Thankyou Clarebannerman.....you are special for having posted this sad but beautiful video.
Peggy is a really powerful singer of all Sean McCarthy’s wonderful songs. I never tire of listening to her singing a full album of his songs on Spotify.
Beautiful Song, well Sung, I Remember very well live at the Embankment in Tallaght when the late Olive Bayle (RIP) sang this Song, she had the Voice of an Angel , many thanks for this brings back great memories , Slainte :)
Thank you clarebannerman for posting this beautiful song.Peggy is the perfect singer of Sean Maccarthy songs She has the voice,interpretation and diction to allow the listener to follow the story of each piece. She sings another beauty called My Kerry Hills It would be a fitting anthem for the county.
I missed this beautiful song and singer- never knew of its existence.Hard to believe such barbarity could have taken place in my life time.I am totally disgusted by what happened and the relentless pursuit of the child 18 years later when she was snatched from her loving grandparents home and incarcerated in the Magdalen laundry prison life.What an example of Love and Charity preached but truly not practised!!!!Utterly disgusting and the shame of our land!!
Wow what a voice! I stumbled across this video while listening to Traditional Irish music on a beautiful Saturday morning. Such a tragic song, so beautifully sung. The rest of my day will be spent finding and listening to Peggy Sweeney. Thanks for the posting clarebannerman.....
Beautifully sung....Isn't it tragic the things that happened in the name of 'religion'. Is there a chance of getting the words and music of this song. I would love to sing it.
never knew the story of this lovely song, truly heart wrenching what was done to this girl, i dont think younger people realise what ireland was like when the church ruled over us, its only 2 weeks since Christine Buckley passed away, only for that brave LADY the real truth would have buried forever.
peter flynn Thank goodness the church has mercy now, and is there for anyone who needs it. It was better for this girl to have her baby than to have the baby removed by other means, which was and is a much greater sin.
The Catholic Church is different now but it was awful what happened, and I agree with you. The Pope says we must all show mercy. Thanks for message. Jo S

@@nf54551 hello Jo are you still on UA-cam?
Shameful that men were never held accountable like the women were. There's no shame.
Peggy (not the singer ) Seans sister was scandalised by the catholic church in Ireland how times have changed.
So sad - Shame on the Church
