"...and all their songs are sad." Or maybe not. [View all]

You know that G.K. Chesterton quote:

For the great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry,
And all their songs are sad.


And you know what that means: It's time for another music thread. Post a song that either proves or disproves Chesterton's claim.

First up: Mary Black and Eleanor McEvoy, "Only a Woman's Heart."
