Mountains o' Mourne

Music written by: Houston Collisson
Lyrics written by: Percy French
Language: English
Comments: "Mountains o' Mourne" (or "Mountains of Mourne") was written by Percy French and set to music by his frequent collaborator, Houston Collisson. The dating of the poem and the song is uncertain but both must be be pre-1920 as French and Collisson died that year. The best guess is the late 1890's. The earliest recording was made in 1931 by Peter Dawson.
