This lament, about the passing of time and increasing old age while still looking forward to the coming of summer, is a rare song. While being very popular in West Clare, it does not seem to have been recorded from traditional singers very often with the only two versions listed by Roud being from Ann Jane Kelly of Keady, Armagh in 1952 and Paddy Tunney of Beleek, Fermanagh in 1965.
As with many traditional tunes, there are many different lyrical versions. This version is based on Siobhan Millers arrangement.
