about

Traditional, arr. Kerry Andrew

Molly Bawn, or Polly Vaughn, is a traditional Irish song (Roud 166), also known as ‘The Fowler’ or ‘The Shooting of His Dear’. It has more supernatural roots in the Scandinavian swan maiden myths. I came across a more fairy-tale like version of the story in the West Highlands of Scotland, ‘The Salen Swan’, where the jealous mother of Molly's husband-to-be turns Molly into a swan. She turns back into Molly after her fiancé shoots her dead; he is so distraught that he throws himself into Loch Sunart, which is why, the story ends, there are no swans on Sunart. I weave in this story alongside the traditional song, with my tune gleaned from versions by the Donegal singer Packie Manus Burn and by Alasdair Roberts.
