This is a haunting Scottish ballad performed by the Glaswegian maestro, Dick Gaughan whom has the voice of a hard-drinking Scottish angel who would sing you to happiness, or knock your fuck in, dependent upon how you behave.

Any country would be privileged to have a musician such as Dick Gaughan. This song will tug at those who have heartstrings as it recounts the brutal injustice of forced emigration that both Ireland and Scotland have long suffered from.
