message: I love this song. The best version I've ever heard was by Skylark on their 1987 'All of It' album. Len Graham's deep rich voice is unsurpassed. El Gringo 04:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I re-ordered the listing of versions. This is because music evolves, past versions may influence future versions (both "for" and "against"), so seeing the chronology of the recordings seems a good idea. Some versions did not have dates, they were placed at the end in alphabetical order.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brunswicknic (talk • contribs) 13:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

message: It is terribly formatted and has no citations. Wikipedia articles usually don't have the lyrics and chords to a song. I suggest this section be removed.

message: What is the meaning of "rock" here?
If she is selling her "reel" (fishing reel) would she be selling her fishing rod?
I've had it suggested that "rock" may be a mis-hearing of "roth" (wheel), but why?1.125.106.74 (talk) 01:29, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

text: reasonable point, though I note the mention of a mill in the lines above, "rock" may be referring to millstones or parts of a Quern (as in Mano (stone) and Metate, in archaeology the usual meaning of quern)("well why don't you change Quern", "Madonna, so much to do")
I have also heard the word "rod" used JayBirdtyper (talk) 16:43, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

message: I see it is spelled 'a Rún' here, but it's in the vocative case and should be spelled 'a Rúin'. The title being 'Siúil, a Rúin' - 'Go, My Love' or better 'Go, O Love'. It's a common misspelling on the web, but shouldn't be perpetuated here I don't think. Breiz (talk) 17:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
