This song helped me get through the days following the passing of my mother in 1993, and seven years later, when my dad passed. Whenever I hear it, I think of them, but not with sorrow.

The mountain areas are all defined at GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador where this video is embedded along with another excellent duet performance by Tony Hilliard and Janet Ruth Young - The Dorymates - from Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Drop by. :-)

The last time I climbed Suilven, or to be more precise, failed to climb it, was in my seventy-second year. I was with my wife and fourteen-year-old daughter Kitty. "You go ahead," I told them, "I'll meet you at the top." But 'the flesh is bruckle, the fiend is slee', and I hadn't gone more than half the distance when my legs refused to carry me further. My body had given me plenty of warnings over the last seven or eight years but this was the final notice. My mountain days were over Ewan McColl

Allan Engelbrecht Petersen

Great song! And great landscape near Glossop in Peak District! And what a history: Hundreds of hikers in the thirties fighting for public access to the mountains.

He was one of the very greatest of songwriters, nothing trivial about these lyrics. Must get my boots on, time is running out...
