That set looked so good on her
Yooo this is crazy!
Magnificent dancing. Excellent. What is the dance the music is familiar but I have forgotten the name.
Blackthorn Stick
The dance is a treble jig or a heavy jig. The Blackthorn Stick Set Dance. The tune is also a song called "Three Weeks We Were Wed" and has funny lyrics.
"I’m as troubled a young man, my friend, as you ever did see; for I’ve married a damsel, her age, it was scarce 23. I’m sorry to tell you I’ve married this false-minded one, for she’s left me alone and run-off with another young man.
Well, the day we were wed, she said I went on a spree. The neighbor next door, she swore, was better than me. They go out every night and stay dancing the morning away, and the pair leave me there to fare the best that I may.
Well, three weeks we were wed when this lassie, I took her to town. Expenses I paid on the way; I gave her a crown. I met an old friend, and he pulled me in for a drain. And while we were there, sure, the pair ran off on the train.
When I found she was gone, like a madman, I rushed through the square. All crying out "Ochone!" and trying to tear out my hair. A neighbor named Ned, he stuck out his head of the door, "Has your wife gone away, will she never come back anymore?"
I’ve an acre of land, a might fine pig, and a cow; a duck and a drake with no one to take care of us now. I’ll sell them all off, I declare, for I’m tired to me life. Said the ladies to dance, go on, and look for your wife."
