Here's The Mountains of Mourne sung Denis O'neil a Percy French song from a 78 rpm shellac record released in 1930.
The lyrics to the song The Mountains of Mourne were written by Irish musician Percy French. It is normally sung to the traditional Irish folk tune Carrigdonn or Carrigdhoun [1] as it is sometimes spelt. This was the same tune used by Thomas Moore (1779–1852) for his song Bendemeer's Stream.
The song is representative of French's many works concerning the Irish diaspora. The Mourne Mountains of the title are located in County Down in the United Kingdom.
The song is a whimsical look at the styles, attitudes and fashions of late nineteenth-century London as seen from the point of view of an emigrant labourer from a village near the Mountains of Mourne. It is written as a message to the narrator's true love at home. The "sweep down to the sea" refrain was inspired by the view of the mountains from Skerries in north County Dublin.[2]
It contrasts the artificial attractions of the city with the more natural beauty of his homeland.
