Irish traditional song.

Cathy Jordan (lead singer with Dervish) refers to Big Máire / Máire Mhór as 'someone who runs out on the man as soon as the whiskey's gone.'

1:40 it would literally go: 'with nothing on her bráid but the carter's coat.'
The word 'bráid' means (in this particular case) neck and breast, bust. That is to say she's not completely naked underneath, she's wearing a low-cut dress :)





As requested by Scarlett Sladek :)



Performed by Bua
Album: Live At Martyrs' (2006)
