Peggy Lettermore guitar chords and lyrics

The Dubliners recorded this original folk song by Máirtín Ó Clochartaigh and Pádraic Ó Maille of Leitir Caladh in 1911. Leitir Caladh is at the north end of Leitir Móir, across the bay from Cill Chiaráin. The bay is an inlet on the mainland due north from the Aran Islands. This song was brought to life by Ciaran Bourke from The Dubliners who was a fluent Irish speaker, a great singer, guitar player and also a dab hand at playing the tin whistle
