I recently had the good fortune to hear Ms O' Connell perform this song at the Cleveland Irish Festival, the entire audience was simply mesmerized by her beautiful rendition of this classic song.
I love this song by her! It came from When You and I were Young, Maggie from well over a hundred years ago though John Mccormack version was very popular. and has a couple variaitions that are similar.
I love this song!!!! My great uncle always plays the guitar and we all sit around and sing together. It's a wonderful family tradition and we always sing this song!!!
It was great to find this. She is singing it in a lower key, than she originally sang it. However' it is still excellent. I think she sang the definative version of it.
This song always leaves me in a puddle of tears.
I originally heard this song 25 years ago, I don’t remember by whom, but I was songstruck. This version brings that back…
