I only uploaded this song because i know there should be plenty of ppl like me trying to find a version without the show's original audio and since it was really hard to get, im sharing it with you guys.
On this version you can actually hear the song's ending lyrics. Have a nice day.
P.S. First video i edit and upload to youtube EVER, so.. hope i didnt mess it up.
P.S.2 English is not my native language so ignore any mispelling.
the best version
I live in Carrickfergus 💙
BOARDWALK EMPIRE BROUGHT ME HERE!!!! BEST SONG EVER THANK YOU FOR THIS
Jan3zZ glad you like my hometown. XD
Have you heard Jason Manford singing this? He's very good.
Questa canzone è tanto triste ma meravigliosa😢❤️
Same here!
My father died not so long ago. My heart is filled with grief. However, listened g to this song every night and somehow it has been giving me comfort and strenght even if it is so sad

I’m not even Irish, and this song and version brings me to tears. You can actually feel and visualize this town! Hats off!
It's such a relief to listen to this version without hearing Eli puking in the background.
8 years later, best comment in here.
Both inscrutable and hilarious at the same time.
In 100 years when people read this they'll wonder who the fuck Eli is.
I steered her on to the lawn and held her hair back whilst she was vomiting .Six years later she was dead from alcoholic poisoning.Memories,eh?
But Margaret finally making out with Nucky. Payoff !
"I have no time for games Margaret..."
"Margaret???" yeah right... that feigned surprised... bullshit.. she knew what was coming... Zod damn she's adorable...
@@mikeantell533 Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned. Margaret played him perfectly.
What a scene 🔥
@@mikeantell533 - she was annoying. Just another Carmela Soprano or Skylar White. Complains, very rude to the help, always guilt tripping the husband, unfaithful, all the while never refusing the money and good life.
@@shapiroshekelberg604 Skyler had some complexity to her. Margaret could have been completely forgotten about from one episode to the next and I wouldn't have cared at all. Gillian was the only well written female character on the show, the others, even Angela, were completely neglected by the writers
Beautiful Loyalist Carrick.
One of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever...
A beautiful version of this song.
Board walk empire was one of the best show ever HBO ain't no joke.....I love this song also omg tears comes out when I heard that song....
I've listened to this 100 times now or more!! Wonderful , heartfelt song!! And yes I did first hear it on Boardwalk
Beautiful. I defy you not to shed a tear . God bless Louden , and God bless the Celts ... the salt of the Earth
Best version of this..so heartfelt Wainwright knocked this out of the park...
that's it, I'm moving to Ireland.
Thank you for beautiful song, beautiful voice. From Zagreb, Croatia.
This song is straight from the mouth and soul of God. I'm 100% NOT IRISH but I LOVE this song. Much love to Ireland from Oakland, Ca.
i plan to have our band play it . i want a programme of world music
Rewatching Boardwalk Empire and I’m here now haha
Great song!! Going to be played at my funeral. But not for a long time from now, i hope!!!
🥺
No shame in finding great music via TV shows .... musicians can get a bit precious about this. I'd never heard this song before watching Boardwalk Empire and so the LWIII version was the first I experienced. Since listened to countless others. . None beats LWIII in my opinion.
Exactly. I am here because of Peaky blinders
I live in Carrick
Can I do you?
It always irks me slightly when I hear some ladies airbrushing out "To my love and die," part of the beautiful power this evocative song has, is in its sadness, the most innocent of all emotions. Brilliantly done !! so moving.
10-4. If you don’t want to sing about loss and grief, find a different song.
I remember when I was young my grandpa would sing this and everyone would be silent
Gordon's voice excels in this rendition of the timeless Irish Ballad I love the best. He demonstrates a full range of voice excelling all the while. Well done Loudon. The best version i have heard and I am a man from who played toones in garcie Neill's pub in Carrickfergus. I am Junglejim
My darling Magnificent Gorgeous Bridget (MGB) bought me here
Beautifully song by Loudon. Thanks for posting it.
what a beautiful haunting song,,,sung with so much emotion,,,loverly
Bossa nova , fado, blues , bolero, tango, all beautiful forms of music.
But my god the celts really know how to use your heartstrings to touch the deepest part of your heart ,it's like they want to make you not forget you have a soul!!
We Mexicans feel the Irish Brothers, our songs make you cry too,
But the celts also make you drink! Thank you brothers for your soulful music!
Loudon forcefully conveys the emotion of these inspired lyrics.....splendid performance!
Centuries of loss "we are a sorrowful people".
The best version ever, and just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
Love this version, thanks for uploading.
It's 4 a.m. I'm nursing my last one. This song plays in the background. Tears well. up...time to go...
Boardwalk Empire brought me here.
such a beautiful song.
What a beautiful version.
Bloody beautiful, I’m not an Irishman but an Immigrant living in 🇦🇺 originally from 🇵🇬 ❤️ ... credits to Boardwalk Empire 🥰
Most of the lyrics are correct, except for possibly a few, and they are close.
One is at the end, where it should be "So come, ye young men, and lay me down." Refers to being carried to his deathbed, or possibly to his grave by the strong men of the village. The word seems to be "ye" rather than "here". It's an older way of saying "come, you young men".
Enjoyed the video though. I've been looking for this version for a while now.
The basis of the song goes back to the 1700's..The song was "Do bhí bean uasal" ( There was a Noblewoman) and contained a few of the modern lyrics...The song has changed a great deal over the many years and the version we all know is from the 1960's. Again, the song has evolved a great deal since the earliest known versions.
Nice to know, thanks
Very beautiful! Thank you for uploading. I have to admit that boardwalk empire brought me here. Even though the words are about an Irishman l think the longing feeling expressed by the song is universal
Missed this superb song first time round, it touches the soul.!!!
just heard it in board walk empire,
was glad I could find it (despite of the fast credits)
very beautiful song
So Loudon Wainwright really is a folk singer after all! Beautiful tune, beautiful words - and a great voice ( though as far as the words are concerned, I've always doubted that someone who was "drunk today and seldom sober" would actually be a "handsome" rover...
I read that "handsome" meant "handy" -- as in "handyman." So he was a traveling handyman, doing odd jobs.
Who's here from Boardwalk Empire?
One of the greatest shows ever made
I’m back to listen to this wonderful version.
I have always loved this beautiful song... And with the passing of as many seasons as I have seen, I can appreciate it even more now. Wainwright does a wonderful version, true to the intention and feeling of the song.
only here because of boardwalk empire
Thank you. My father passed away. I ve been mourning, however, I feel better. Helen
Love this tune, have many Celtic CDs. Their sonsg bring a sense of peace. Even though they of sadness. Wish I could find a CD with Wainwright III singing it.
Like others, thanks so much for the upload of this version of this haunting song. Have heard other excellent renditions, but, to me, this is the best and also includes a verse not usually heard. This was not available as MP3 download that I could find, so you did a very good deed!
The emotion that this song stirs inside me is sometimes so overwhelming . .
'On that long road down to the salty sea' . .
хоть на английском, но так по русски! Хороший перевод имеется на наш язык и исполнение
I just wish I was there because I would be closer to my love.
Oh... well, then... good effort. Fucking awesome song... thinking about dancing argentine tango to it....
I need this on Spotify. Instantly, thanks! Waiting 12 years for that to happen..,.
Ah, a great ballad!.... almost an archetype of moving, yearning sad songs
I'm just stunned by the beauty of the song...
歌曲中文翻譯
卡里克弗格斯--我夢中的故鄉
我多麼希望我能回到卡里克弗格斯
我知道她在等我
在彩虹的那端
我願意游過這寬闊的海洋
只是為了能再次看到她那甜美動人的一笑
我卻無法渡過這無邊的海
我只能希望我能有雙飛翔的翅膀
我只能希望能認識一位淳樸的船夫
載我去心的另一邊
我閉上眼睛
我就能看到碧綠的土地和金黃的花朵
我們在油綠的草地上攜手相偎
我歸心似箭，只為它
這浩浩大海卻讓我不知何從
我只能希望我能有雙飛翔的翅膀
我只能在夢中回到卡里克弗格斯
終於要和我和故鄉永別了
留下我對它恆久的摯愛
我只能在夢中回到卡里克弗格斯
終於要和我和故鄉永別了
留下我對它恆久的摯愛
heard it in boardwalk empire, beautiful
It just doesn't get any better than this. Such beautiful music
To all those who ask if the singer is gay, you need to open your MINDS! Carrickfergus is the real name of this folk song and was written way back before this
Thank-You, loader. And I'm Finnish, but my voice is multi-national.
Passando pra deixar aquele like TMJ 😉👍
THANK YOU!!!! a million
Nucky - Dad, Carriclfergus?
Nucky's father - Ah who gives a shit!
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, thanks for the upload, English is great!!!
Ah, I love this version.
Yep, this is a beautiful tune making no sense:
- why did you leave Carrickfergus if your love one was there?
- you can't afford a way back (I presume from America), what the f....? - what was the whole enterprise for?
- my strong suspicion is, based on the lyrics, that you spent 90% of money on whiskey and gin
Carrickfergus - I wish I visit it before I die, but I won't go to not be totally disappointed.
my lovely wee town off carrick btw love from Caxarrifergus to all the castle in this if you don't know belonged to William Of Orange who in fact killed his Catholic step brother Prince James. this castle was known as the most special in the province of ulster but belfast was and still is the main city which thankfully our little section of this island is slowly but surely becoming fully integrated to the point we will accept each others religion I have many Catholic friends my self God bless Ulster/Ulidia and may good bless the republic as well.
I'm 65 and live far from my home town ( Carrick )calls me home I might have left Ireland but Ireland has never left me
Long Live The House of Orange
finally! been searching youtube for loudon's cover for some time. thank you.
Carrickfergus is the supposed ancestral home of U.S. president Andrew Jackson, although his biographer James Parton could find no records linking the family to this place. This song shares some lyrics with the ancient lay "The River is Wide".
Yes. Hi, Carrickfergus native here. It is, I live quite near his family home, it's been turned into a museum.
I hate to break the news to some of the comments and the picture but the song is about carrickfergus south of the island of Ireland
This one might make you cry.
I was searching for this version for many months but finally i found it!Thanks a lot for posting!
Really amazing song!
I did NOT come here bc of Broadwalk Empire
My love of Loudon Wainwright III's music sent me here.
Quem Está Ouvindo Em 2020 Está Aqui Sucesso Total Show😎💥👏🏻✌🏻
van morrison does this better on the cd van morrison but this is still good
Bellísima canción. Me enamoré de ella.
Ah, the versatility! From the humor of "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" to the haunting beauty of an old man's reflections in Carrickfergus.
wow, surprisingly good version!
(not here because of any movie etc.)
First heard this on Boardwalk Empire and loved this version ever since.😢
Je viens de passer quelques jours en Irlande et ai maintes fois entendu cette chanson au début des concerts de musique celtique. Je suis heureux grâce aux paroles écrites de pouvoir en saisir toute la mélancolie que laissait transparaître la mélodie.
TOUCHES THE HEART
Already said but his is the best version ever . .
It's exact version as in Boardwalk empire!
THe HBO version I saw omitted the last two lines ending in "come lay me down"
Great rendition of Carrickfergus by LWiii, thanks!
