about

Deirdre was given this song by her father, who learned it as a boy during his time in the Donegal Gaeltacht. It tells the story of a man who sets out one morning to trade at the market but, getting thirsty along the way, he sits by the roadside for a drink with Siobhán Ní Dhuibhir. He then asks Siobhán to marry him, but his offer is rejected. Apart from the fact he has just “drunk the price of his shoes”, she does not want to be bothered with dowries, cattle and all the other romantic aspects of marriage.
