“The Maid from the Carn Brae”
Description
The singer recalls the other girls described in songs -- the girl in the Galway shawl, the girl from the County, Down, etc. -- but "she was queen alone, The maid from the Carn Brae." No amount of searching will reveal another such girl
Notes
Curiously, the singer in this song makes no attempt to court the girl; he just describes her as irresistable. - RBW
