A magical old song well rendered by Sean and the lads.

[@fuxtown]

the best version of this beautiful ballad .by sean cannon and the dubiners ..pure magic ..

[@TheDublinersOfficial]

Glad you liked it.

[@sheilaoneil18]

Sean Cannon....what a beautiful, beautiful voice and style of singing. I love it!!!

[@grahammorris6235]

Without a doubt a fine voice to take up the mantel of Luke Kelly. Having met Sean at Bromyard Folk Festive "way back when" I always thought he was the ideal choice.

[@bighag9773]

Im glad he's still with us, the nore of his amazing voice he shares with us, the better

[@joachimhavemann8236]

Nach so vielen Jahren immer noch fantastisch. Sean Cannon hat eine tolle Stimme. Ich liebe irische Pubsongs. Dieses Lied weckt in mir viele Emotionen. 😍

[@mariacristinacampera3710]

By far my favourite song since always. Every time I hear it, I have goosebumps... Love from Italy ❤

[@geraldtempleton2963]

[@thomascassidy8347]

He sounds lovely singing, unusual but wonderful.

[@anthonymctigue9038]

GREAT SONG .AND NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE SEAN GANNON

[@derrickmurphy7632]

Sean voice always blew me away kinda unusual, but you will never forget it.

[@geraldtempleton2963]

Absolutely beautiful

[@geraldtempleton2963]

Thanks for the dubliners wonderful music

[@wildrangeringreen]

I've always liked this version of the song. Grandpa would always hum the tune, but didn't know the words; said that his father knew some of the lyrics, and he'd hum/sing it from time to time.

It's him singing but some forgotten druid is tuning his heart.
Long live to Celtic music.

[@kevinberney6639]

I always believed Sean Cannon was one of the most beautiful singers The Dubliners ever had.

[@GerryDavidson-kc3vu]

Totally agree, fantastic pure voice

[@grahammorris6235]

Had the pleasure of Sean's company at a Bromyard Folk Festival way back in the nineteen seventies. He was a single artist in those days; when he took over from Luke Kelly as "in front" singer for the Dubliners I thought it no one could have took Luke's place better.

[@geraldtempleton2963]

So true mate

[@franziskafischer9400]

Bravo!❤

[@steveascension9626]

It's rather funny, that in my recent old age as an Australian I have discovered the Dubliners, & Irish music, having over 70% Irish, 25% Scottish & a dash of Welsh in my blood having a name like Gallagher & cousins named Kelly.

[@jennyrose9454]

It's never too late☺️

[@untunglaksito2389]

I noted Steve's comment with interest. It's not even half as funny when you consider I have nothing in common with Steve save for age (70's). As an Indonesian (pure Javanese if you insist on Ethnology), I started to learn playing guitar in my early 60's, and now tackling DADGAD. I have performed a few times in local festival. And what do they call me? " Plastic Paddy", a name I take as a term of endearment! (BTW I came to Australia in late 1965 and haven't left yet!)

[@gesina1935]

I love as Dutchman Irisch songs. Nice melodisch.

I was going to tell you it's a Scots song. However, I just checked and found that actually it's English. However, it is a bonny tune, and he sings it beautifully. I usually prefer his versions of any songs he sings to any others.

[@charlesmorris6910]

That accent is thick enough to run through a meat grinder..I love it.

[@unknown-jy8kw]

Hope Yees like it I be home this morning please god
