From Kate's 2003 album, Underneath The Stars

Lyrics;

The daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming,

I met in Glenavon's gay glittering hall,

And high rose my heart, ambition assuming

To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball.

Oh daughter of Megan, look not so alluring

On a youth that his hope with thy hand must resign;

That now the sad pang of despair is enduring,

The splendour thou lov'st can never be mine.

Go daughter of Megan, to castles of splendour,

Each eye that beholds thee thy presence shall bless,

And the delicate mind feel a passion more tender

On thy beauties to gaze than another's possess.

But daughter of Megan, tomorrow I'm going,

On oceans to sail where the rude billows roar;

I feel my full heart with affliction o'erflowing,

Perhaps I may gaze on thy beauties no more.

Oh the daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming,

I met in Glenavon's gay glittering hall,

And high rose my heart, ambition assuming

To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball.

Such a beautiful song. Kate is such a talented song writer. I love her music, the traditional lyrics, and her heart-stopping voice. This is one of my favourites.

If there's a finer voice in the world, I've yet to hear it.

It has always been that many of my favorite songs are old English and Welsh tunes. Irish and Scots, too, of course. They resonate so well with my own heart.

Spring flowers bloom with dew covered song. Our Kate shines like the sun. Embrace the warm glow both inside and out. Now rest and watch over your Megan picture.

I wonder if this folk song is related to 'Merch Megan', a traditional welsh song?

Kate sings with total conviction..she is just so good at telling a tale with honesty in her voice..she sings to us..and we feel we 've always known her know her...I don't think there is another artist on the folk scene who can put over a song as well as her..I just love her to bits..
