The Maid Has Sold Her Barley – 19th Century Traditional Irish Folk Ballad, Celtic Music

The Maid Has Sold Her Barley is a traditional Irish folk ballad from the early 19th century, telling the timeless story of a farmer’s daughter and a young man she meets on a cold winter’s moor. With coal-black hair and cherry-red cheeks, the maid is on her way to market when she is stopped by a suitor on horseback. This classic song captures the spirit of Ireland’s musical heritage, weaving themes of love, rural life, and the passage of time. Set against cinematic imagery of snowy Irish hills, and lonely moors, this video brings the ballad’s atmosphere to life for modern audiences. Perfect for fans of Irish music, folk songs, Celtic traditions, and the Irish diaspora, this ballad carries the voices of Ireland’s past into today.
