BELFAST MOUNTAIN. Irish, Air (4/4 time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning. One part. The name Belfast means 'crossing place by a sandbank'. A variant of the air is claimed by one authority as a Sussex song, however it is a variant of the popular air "Banks of the Claudy." "Belfast Mountain", written by P.J. MacColl (who wrote "Boulavogue"), commemorates a Presbyterian-born leader of the Society of United Irishmen in Ulster during the 1798 rebellion, Henry Joy McCracken (1767-1798).
It was on Belfast Mountain I heard a maid complain,
And she vexed the sweet June evening with her heartbroken strain;
Crying, 'Woe is me, life's anguish is more than I can dream,
Since Henry Joy McCracken died on the gallows tree.
Source for notated version: "From Mr. P. MacDowell R.A., March, 1859" [Stanford/Petrie].
