The March Ditch

This song is about growing up in a mixed rural community in County Down. A farm boundary, known locally as a march ditch, was often crossed by neighbours who would lend a helping hand at the sowing and harvest times. I reflected on the contrast between this togetherness and the fact that neighbours who lived just across the march ditch from us went to different schools and churches, just because they “dug with the other foot”.
