An old folk song of american origin which has been adopted by the Irish folk scene. It tells the story of a broke traveller who is so impressed by the hospitality and dark beauty of a Creolo girl that he asks her to marry him, but is turned down on account of her absent lover who is presently at sea. Made famous by Paul Brady and Christy Moore.
