Song Information I first met Catherine McNulty when I moved to Saula, Achill in 1994. I ended up living in the house next door to this lovely woman - this lovely neighbour. She had lived a hard life yet she remained both cheerful and friendly. When I used to walk by her house on the way to cut turf on the bog I used to stop and we would have a chat about this and that. When passing in my car I'd always look out and see her with her smile and wave. Then sadly, over a very short period around christmas 1997, she took ill and went into hospital and within a few weeks she was dead and would never return to her home. I had lost a good neighbour. So I just had to write a song about her. This isn't a sad song but a song to celebrate her smile and her cheerfulness. Although she's gone I still remember her and have fond memories of her.
