Kathleen‘s notes: “Devastation marches in, and marches away again. But the sweetness that follows … !
“This Irish song is best known in the US as Buttermilk Hill (Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier), popular during the Civil War. As in Siúil A Ghra (Shule Agra, on my first CD A Handfull of Quietness), a woman is singing of her love, for whom she has sacrificed even her way to support herself, so that he would be armed for the war he has gone to join. Will he return? How will she manage in the meantime? ‘Go safely, my love,†she sings at the end of every verse.‘â€
Very late intermediate.
