Ciara Considine: Song Info

A story seeped in folklore: as the sun set, Molly Bán Lavery made her way home from her uncle's house when a sudden shower of rain began. Taking shelter in a bush, she covered herself with her white apron. Meanwhile her lover had been out hunting all day and, as the light faded, was attracted to a patch of white among the leaves of a bush in the mist. Supposing it to be the whiteness of a swan's feathers, he raised his gun with true aim: to his horror he found his sweetheart Molly lying dead under the bush.
