'''BRINK OF THE WHITE ROCKS [3], THE''' (Bruac na Cairraige Báine). AKA and see "Bruach na Cairraige Báine." Irish, Air (6/8 time, "gaily"). Ireland, Munster. E Minor (O'Neill): D Minor (O'Sullivan/Bunting). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Sullivan (1983) remarks there are a number of versions of this tune, including five printed in George Petrie's 1855 volume, pp. 137-143 (one appears under the title "Ar Thaoibh na Carraige Baine"), while Ó Canainn (1978) reports the music can be found in John O'Daly's '''Poets and Poetry of Munster''' (1849). O'Daly has a story that the song was written for a wedding gift for the Blacker family about the year 1666. Carrick in this version is identified with the townland of Carrick Blacker, near Portadown, and O'Daly records that the song was composed as a welcome home to Elizabeth, daughter of Colonel Robert Stuart, of the Irry, Co. Tyrone, grand-daughter of the first Lord Castlewart. Others have suggested that Carrick/Cairraige refers to Carrick-on-Suir on the Tipperary/Waterford border. The air retains some currency among traditional musicians today. This, the Munster version, is quite different from northern versions. Lyrics begin:

''And west by the river, without a doubt or lie''<br>
''There is a quiet gentle beauty,''<br>
''And her waist is as bright as any swan on the wave''<br>
''From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet.''<br>
''She is the woman that tormented my heart''
''And left me heartbroken.''<br>
''There is nothing that will cure me''<br>
''Since my true love rejected me.''<br>
