American Southerners and the Irish are two strange Breeds. And I say this to you as one,,, or both actually. We are the Only peoples in this day and age that who stop and listen with hearts a weepin', about losses taken over 150 years in the Past. I guess, if anything, the Irish are worse cuz some of those songs are about defeats 500 years ago!
I have always loved this woman's voice, but in this tune, it takes my breath. She sings the song as if she had been standing there, but not just watching the events, but having participated in them.
