- Here is The Irish Tenors {Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns and Ronan Tynan}, singing Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears. Annie Moore was the first immigrant to the USA to pass through the Ellis Island facility in New York Harbour. Moore arrived from County Cork, Ireland aboard the steamship Nevada on January 1, 1892, her fifteenth birthday. As the first person to be processed at the newly opened facility, she was presented with a $10 gold piece. Moore was accompanied by her brothers Phillip and Anthony.

The History of Ellis Island
www.ellisisland...
On the first day on January,
Eighteen ninety-two,
They opened Ellis Island and they let
The people through.
And the first to cross that threshold
Of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Was all of fifteen years?
CHORUS:
Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.
In her little bag she carried
All her past and history,
And her dreams for the future
In the land of liberty.
And courage is the passport
When your old world disappears
But there's no future in the past
When you're fifteen years
Chorus
When they closed down Ellis Island
In nineteen forty-three,
Seventeen million people
Had come there for sanctuary.
And in Springtime when I came here
And I stepped onto its piers,
I thought of how it must have been
When you're fifteen years.
Chorus
Thank You kindly for singing this for all of us to enjoy. I appreciate you gentleman so very much. 🫂☕💎💐👑🏆🍻💝
Beautiful song. I never heard Ronan harmonize before. Outstanding!!☘☘☘
These 3 gentlemen sing this beautiful song in a superb manner. Simply marvelous.
Always beautiful, sad and also inspiring.
What a brave Annie. I hope her life went well...A lovely song...never grows old.
Just saw Celtic Woman's Isle of Hope concert in Radio City where the ladies sang this song. This is an amazing song that speaks for every immigrant who left their home. Thanks for posting!
The Irish Tenors are remarkable and out of all their songs this one is my favorite...!!!
I saw them tonight at Purdue University. When they sang this song it gave me chills. My favorite song of the night. Well done.
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ....
3/4 of my family passed through Ellis Island. It must have broken them leaving home and know they would never see their old homes again.
GOD BLESS THE MIGHTY IRISH PEOPLE, ,LOVE FROM N.Z
Such a wonderful song! Anne does now have a grave marker. It was put in October 11th 2008 :)

@Murrayfamilytree 17 million, God bless them all
So beautiful yet so sad
This song fits the people who came over in that time. A whole different class of people, who wanted nothing but a fair shake to make America thier home and bring the values and tradition that made America great, thus the greatest generation. No fee hand outs and this song with these Beautiful Irish voices speak for them all.
yep. that is Ellis Island. went there three years ago.
Yes, I've found it & listened & it is the song I've been looking for. Thanks so much.
"The Green Fields of France" is probably what you're looking for. Great Song.
Very nice!!!!!!!
i have a solo in this song!!! I have the "in the little bag she carried..."!!
How sad!Especially now with covid please God will help us and may all on Hart Island may R.I.P!
brought a tear to my eye thanks
That was truly beautiful
@machree01, thank you. Wonderful!
Wow! This is truly amazing!!! I really love this song- and all I can say is YAY for men that can sing!!!!!
I love these guys!
Very inspiring. Thanks!
this song gives me the chills! it's so beuutiful
The text is so beautiful that I always gets tears in my eyes and the images of a little scared girl with her two little brothers' arrival in this large and confusing and slightly scary place, appears in my mind's eye.
Is there anyone who can tell me, who wrote this beautiful lyric and when?
The song argued, moreover, as a typical Irish folk song by an Irish couple Sean Keane & Dolores Keane.
i love this song it makes me cry
I still will take the cover of this song by the Celtic Woman in 2009. Songs from the heart. They do such a beautiful cover.JMO.
Lovely song.I have never heard it before.
@ridgerskeith Anne's story was told on PBS just last week, on the special about Ellis Island. She is gone, her life a sad one...but she is definitely NOT forgotten by generations of Irish and other immigrants, for whom the American dream did indeed come true. She is still alive and a legend. We will not forget her..ever.
Yes, I've found it. Thank you.
令人感動的一首歌~~ touchable ~~
Supreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am of Mexican/Spanish/Native American descent, but I love this song. Very moving.
Also, I would like to add that threw and through are two different words as are passed and past.
Seventy million passed through not past threw.
beautiful!
@Murrayfamilytree I'm pretty sure it closed earlier than 1954. My father came over in 1948 by plane at Idlewild Airport (now JFK) & he never so much as step foot on Ellis Island. Ditto for my mom who came over soon after.
I'm into a lot of rock music but damn I love this!
I did the lead to this when I was in high school as well.
lol i just listened to it again -- cause its addicting -- and i listened VERY closely and i heard them actually mention it, so i feel like a douchebag, but you didnt have to be rude about it.
very sad song very powerful tho
According to the song...." when they shut down Ellis Island in 1943, 17 million people had come there for Sanctuary and in Springtime when I came here and stepped on to it's Piers, I thought of how it must have been to be all of fifteen tears...
I just saw it live last night too!!! Though, you posted this a month ago... But still. They. Are. AMAZING!!! Celtic Woman, that is. These guys are good, but not my thing.
Tru
I love this...I sing tenor (and am female), My teach made me sit it out...she said the image would be right to have a female soloist in a predominantly male song...How unfair is that? Now I just listen to it and wish it was me singing...
This isn't an Irish song now don't jump down my throat I am of Irish decent. This song belongs to every American. The tale of the story can be understood by all. Irish, French, Italian, German. Where ever you come from. It's just that it's told threw the eyes of a girl who was all of 15 years. We can fight and disagree hell their isn't anything more American. But let's not forget what our ancestors went threw to make it happen. God bless everyone who is American and keep a special eye on the Ir
Annie Moore was actually 17 1/2 years old, not 15.
I love these tenors,any idea where i can get any c.d's?or even of ronan on his own in c.d format??
Interesting! Previous info I read about her was she married a chap called Patrick O'Connell in Waco, Texas + had 8 children, 5 reaching adulthood and that she died after being accidentally struck by a train on her farm in Texas in 1923!!!
Wow! Good for you! even better to start kids singing younger
mmedefarge, don't know if you got my message but the song is called "The Green Fields of France" from the Ellis Island CD.
Thank you for posting this mate, I love this song and the Irish Tenors are great singers.
I remember this been performed live at the sight of September911

ps Can you accept my friend request so I do not have to approve your comments on my vids which is not a problem anyway just a few idiots from Ireland leaving silly comments.
According to my American Spectrum Encyclopedia, it closed in 1954 and some 20 million passed through.
Does anyone know the exact number of people that past through Ellis Island when it closed in 1954?
@perfectly03 They are saying ISLE of hunger ISLE pain....etc....
is the isle of hope-isle of tears and reference to elis island and the immigrants?
I guess no one took the time to keep a total count of people who past through Ellis Island. That is one job I would love to research.
we learned this in school when we were learning asbout the famen
Its Isle of hunger, Isle of Pain, Isle I'll never see again.
The line is about Ireland.
!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! Does anyone know what orchestra this is? Thank you for posting.
father forgive you
Beautiful rendition from one of the most representative Irish Folk songs ever. A pity the remarkable preface of MARTY SHEEN is skipped at the beginning. If you watch properly you can just see him walking off stage. His grandfolks came the same way from Ireland.....
@ridgerskeith
Here is a good one. Just noticed this tonight,
The plague that hangs on the home of Annie Moore in Ireland states that Ellis Island was closed in 1954, and 12 million people past through Ellis Island, meanwhile the Irish Tenors "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" song states that Ellis Island was closed in 1943 and 17 million people past through it.
Which is correct? The Plague or the Song?
In one of the the Irish Tenors concerts, Ronan Tynan sang a song with the refrain, "Bang the Drum Slowly", (It was not the Emmy Lou Harris song) which seemed to be an old, anti-war song. I have not been able to find it anywhere & I don't know the actual title of the song. Does any one have any idea what it is?
These guys are good alright powerful voices.. I know you cant really compare them but they dont have a patch on Luke Kelly! Lukey is probably the greatest voice ever to grace Irish music..(I know thats a bold statement)
@seektheforce lol. It takes a few viewings to get lyrics right, I've had the same problem.
@Annonymus121 LOL good for you !
The Green Fields of France
Where are the Tenor's singing? Ellis Island? Is that the main hall?
The ultimate immigration song. Just change Ireland with any country out there. Many see America as the isle of hope.
@seektheforce nev mind my apologies

Our poor nation and people are being betrayed by Varadker and his fellow travellers. We celebrate the right to slaughter our own children . May God help this poor people. May God save Ireland.
actually, i'm in middle school lol 8th grade
Think the Sean Keane version is the best!!
I mean no disrespect, but... duh!
"No Irish or dogs need apply"
Get out. Now.
Beautiful song.
