Mary from Dungloe (song)
"Mary from Dungloe" is an Irish song originally penned by a Donegal stonemason Pádraig Mac Cumhaill in 1936, telling a tragic story of love and heartbreak.〔http://www.secondhandsongs.com/work/56778?sort=date&reverse=1〕 A modified version of the song was re-released by The Emmet Spiceland Ballad Group and reached number 1 in the Irish singles music chart on the 24th of February 1968.〔http://www.irish-showbands.com/Bands/emmetspicelandf.htm〕 This success prompted the creation of the Mary From Dungloe International Festival, an Irish music festival held in Dungloe, in northwest Ireland. There exists two versions of the song, the original long version by Pádraig MacCumhaill and a shorter version by Colm O'Laughlin, the latter version is the most popular today.
== Story of the song ==
The original 'Mary' in question is said to be a Mary Gallagher, a native of Dungloe, she was courted by a man (from the Gweedore area) who had just returned from the United States but her parents refused to let them marry and he left to return to the US on October 6, 1861. On December 5, 1861 she emigrated to New Zealand to join her relatives there. On the boat she met and married Dónal Egan. She gave birth to a baby but died within four months while her son only survived a few more months.〔http://www.caisleainoir.ie/ws_business_details.aspx?Business_ID=553&Region=Glenties&Business_Name=Mary+from+Dungloe&Section=Attractions〕〔http://www.maryfromdungloe.com/history.php〕
