Kilkelly - An Cat Dubh[00:00:00]

Written by：Peter Jones[00:00:00]

Kilkelly Ireland eighteen and sixty[00:00:14]

My dear and loving son John[00:00:17]

Your good friend schoolmaster[00:00:20]

Pat mcnamara's so good as[00:00:22]

To write these words down[00:00:25]

Your brothers have all gone to find work in England[00:00:27]

The house is so empty and sad[00:00:31]

The crop of potatoes is sorely infected[00:00:34]

A third to a half of them bad[00:00:37]

And your sister Brigid and Patrick o'donnell[00:00:41]

Are going to be married in june[00:00:44]

Your mother says not to work on the railroad[00:00:48]

Be sure to come home soon[00:00:52]

Kilkelly Ireland eighteen and seventy[00:01:02]

My dear and loving son John[00:01:05]

Hello to your missus and to your four children[00:01:09]

May they grow healthy and strong[00:01:12]

Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble[00:01:16]

I suppose that he never will learn[00:01:19]

The house of the dampness there's no turf to talk of[00:01:22]

And we have nothing to burn[00:01:26]

And Brigid is happy he named the child for her[00:01:29]

And knows she's got six of her own[00:01:33]

She says he found work but you don't say what[00:01:36]

Kind[00:01:39]

When will you be coming home[00:01:40]

Kilkelly Ireland eighteen and eighty[00:01:50]

Dear Michael and John my sons[00:01:53]

I'm sorry to give you the very sad news[00:01:57]

That your dear our mother has gone[00:02:00]

We buried her down at the church in kilkelly[00:02:04]

Your brothers and brigid were there[00:02:07]

You don't have to worry she died very quickly[00:02:11]

Remember her in your prayers[00:02:14]

And it's so good to hear that Michael's returning[00:02:17]

With money he's sure to buy land[00:02:21]

For the crop has been poor[00:02:24]

And the people are selling[00:02:26]

Any price they can[00:02:28]

Kilkelly Ireland eighteen and ninety[00:03:13]

My dear and loving son John[00:03:16]

I suppose that I must be close on eighty[00:03:20]

It's thirty years since you've gone[00:03:23]

Because of the money that you sent me[00:03:26]

I'm still living out on my own[00:03:30]

Michael has build himself a fine house[00:03:34]

And Brigid's daughters have grown[00:03:37]

And thank you for sending your family picture[00:03:40]

They're lovely young woman and men[00:03:43]

Oh why that you think about[00:03:47]

Comin' to visit[00:03:49]

And like to see you again[00:03:50]

Kilkelly Ireland eighteen and ninety[00:04:01]

To my dear brother John[00:04:04]

I'm sorry I didn't write sooner to tell you[00:04:07]

That father has gone[00:04:12]

He was living with brigid she says he was cheerful[00:04:14]

And healthy right down to the end[00:04:17]

Ah you should have seen him[00:04:21]

Playing with her grandchildren[00:04:22]

Of Pat my grandmother old friend[00:04:24]

We buried him all along side of mother[00:04:28]

Down at kilkelly churchyard[00:04:31]

He was a just comin' and feisty old man[00:04:34]

Considering his life was so hard[00:04:38]

And it's funny the way he kept talking about you[00:04:41]

He called for you at the end[00:04:45]

Oh why don't you think about coming to visit[00:04:48]

With all love to see you again[00:04:51]
