Crankie Island
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2020
This channel was set up by singer, Cathy Jordan, and artist, Peter Crann, to create a music video archive for traditional Irish songs using special recordings and original scrolling illustrations to articulate a visual narrative to the music. We use a vintage storytelling device known as "Crankie Box" to display imagery.

"Banks of the Moy" - Co. Mayo
The sad tale of the fate of Michael Davitt, (25 March 1846 - 30 May 1906) Davitt was an Irish republican activist for a variety of causes, especially Home Rule and land reform.

Lyrics;
One day as I went to my rambles
from Swinford to sweet Ballylea
I met with a maid as I rambled
and her name it was Mary Magee.
Well, she sighed for the rights of old Ireland:
Michael Davitt, my brave Irish boy,
He is now in a prison in Portland,
Far from the lovely sweet banks of the Moy.
I quickly approached this fair maiden,
asked her the cause of her woe
and what was the cause of her misery
that forced her from home to roam.
Well, she sighed, for the rights of old Ireland
Michael Davitt, my brave Irish boy,
He is now in a prison in Portland,
Far from the lovely sweet banks of the Moy.
Don't speak of your sweet '67,
We had brave men and true men you know
There was young Peter Carney, God rest him,
He died in Killarney, also.
He was trailed by the brave, Michael Davitt,
'round the valleys and plains of Fermoy.
And that's why he's in prison in Portland,
Far from the lovely sweet banks of the Moy.
So now to conclude and to finish
I hope that the day soon will come
when those cruel landlords and bailiffs
From the isle of St. Patrick must run.
We will unfurl our green and gold banner
And we’ll raise them for Ireland on high,
Then we will drink to our brave Michael Davitt
from the lovely sweet banks of the Moy.

The quiet land of Erin! Greetings from Helas.
This is just magical, pure beauty!
This is the best version...The air of the song is also used in a popular old Dublin Ballad "The Waxies Dargle" recorded by Andy Irvine & Sweeney's Men" in the 60's.
Ireland must unite to kick out these traitorous politicians. Ireland for the Irish, Deport all the rest
Such a beautiful song and stunning art to go with it. I was completely mesmerizing.

Well done. Misogynisy and the evil it produces is still a worldwide problem. Its better to have justice while you are alive.
Great rendition though Petravore is in Cavan.
What a beautiful piece of art !!!
I love this- fantastic ❤❤❤

Beautiful artwork rich in accurate detail & a lovely song. I watched this several times & everything it brings a tear to my eye 💐 🌹

I haven't heard this song sung for fifty years.. Beautiful..love the art work also on the video.."The Girl I Left Behind Me"... She's probably watching this video if she's still alive..
Probably one of best known Irish Ballads in the Sean Nós Traditional Singing Style..First made popular by the late Seán Nós Singer Seosamh Ó hÉanaí from Connemara, County Galway back in the 50's...Lovely recording..
Another favourite I remember from way back.. Beautiful arrangement, lovely recording , the vocals are beautiful and give the song a lovely tender touch.
