https://youtube/watch?v=xBq_PSg3vHc The tale is told of a beautiful young virgin whose Celtic name has been lost but whose name has been Anglicised to Elisa Day who lived in the countryside near Luimneach on the banks of Abha na Sionainne in an Mhumhain (thats Limerick on the River Shannon in Munster for those whose Irish needs some brushing up on) and the handsome, evil rogue who seduced and brutally murdered her in the days before St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Eire. Legend has it that she became the resident banshee at the wide bend in the River Shannon where the wild red roses still grow; even unto this day her mourning can be heard during the summer nights, as she calls forlornly (some say angrily) to her faithless erstwhile lover. This legend has been put to song by Nick Cave and sung here by him and Kylie Minogue Where The Wild Roses Grow (feat. Nick Cave) LYRICS in the description
