C Instrument - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1389966 By Traditional Irish. By Traditional Irish. Arranged by Thomas Degan. Celtic,Early Music,Folk,Irish,Standards,Traditional. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 1 pages. Thomas Degan #973530. Published by Thomas Degan (A0.1389966). The Irish folk song "Muirsheen Durkin" tells the story of an emigrant from Ireland who goes to mine for gold in California during the California Gold Rush, 1849. The song is about emigration, although atypically optimistic for the genre. The name "Muirsheen" is a good phonetic approximation to the pronunciation of "Máirtín" (Martin) in Connacht Irish; it could alternatively be construed as a diminutive of "Muiris" (Maurice). A pratie is a potato, the historical staple crop of Ireland. "America" is pronounced "Americay", as was common among Gaelic peoples around Ireland. -wikipedia.
