The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
The title of this was taken from the song version. It’s also known as ‘My Mind Will Never Be Easy.’ I first learned it from a recording of a radio broadcase of the Lough Gowna Céilí Band, who were admired in their day for playing good old neglected tunes from books of written music.
