"Kathleen Mavourneen" was written in 1837 by Frederick Crouch with lyrics by Marion Crawford. It was popular during the American Civil War. "Mavourneen" is a term of endearment derived from the Irish Gaelic mo mhuirnin, meaning "my beloved".
The song plays a prominent role in the film Gettysburg, where "Kathleen Mavourneen" is sung by an Irish tenor at the Confederate camp and thereafter is used frequently as a theme in Randy Edelman's musical score for the film.

Hello Patty, Terry and Ben. Thank you so much for your encouraging words.
That's beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job. I too like it when you tell us the story of the song. Thank you!!!
Nicely done Gordon. Thanks for the history on the song.
Wow Gordon - you did a marvelous job with that and looked so comfortable doing it. I was wondering how that would work with just drones, but I like it, sounded old and haunting...thank you.
Thanks Cynthia, you are a great ego booster.

Hey Gordon
I always enjoy your videos, so thanks for the song. Your dulcimers and Helen's dulcimers, rival in their beauty.
As always, nice job there Gordon.
That's wonderful, Gordon. I always enjoy your powerful singing and playing, and your song choices with their history described.
Thank you Lisa, I appreciate your kindness. This melody was a delight to play and sing to. I had to lower some of the high notes and raise some of the low notes in the notation to suit my somewhat limited range.
That's wonderful, Gordon. I always enjoy your powerful singing and playing, and your song choices with their history described.
