I'm a 1944 borner from Istanbul Türkiye. There were several private schools in the Ottoman Empire founded by foreign countries providing education in their native languages during early and mid 18th ciecle. Among them were 2 English high schools, one for girls and the other for boys. My elder sister who had enrolled to EHFG in 1950 used to sing this song she learned at school during her 4th year. By the way the school had 2 prep years for teaching English before they started the usual curriculum. Now I'm 79 and it has been almost 66 years since I've listened to it from my sister. Quite a romantic song from those old days.
@@mr.dr.prof.patrick7284 Thanks, my 5 year older sister is alive & thanks lord, so am I. I'm considerably well as a childless widower. Our only child passed away first and then my 57 old wife passed. Life is funny sometimes. The general expectation is that husbands die first, though there are quiet a number of exceptions. I wish I were not one of those exceptions, alas the decision is not in our hands. Thank you so much for your kindness.
I grew up before tv and my father played guitar (self-taught as a child); later we had a small electric chord organ and all of us (nine children plus parents) learned to play it. We sang together almost every night and always in the car on Sunday drives. I'm so glad I found your site, with the songs I remember so well and still love . . . thank you!
comedy probably didn't have that message but it's not the main intention there hehe music now still has that but you may have to go much further than the top 40 stuff
Thank you for singing this song, Fred! I recorded a guitar solo version last night, and came to your video when I was searching for background info of this lovely tune.
lovely. i came here from raised by wolves tv show where campion sturges whistles " dont sit under the apple tree" that lead me to the song of same name sung by the andrews sisters in 1942 to and then here to its origin. from 1833 to 2020.
How this English song become a German folk song would be an interesting story, this can be found in the article: How A British Popular Hit Became An "Irish Folk Song" in Germany
Btw I'm looking for the video of it where I think the kid girl there holds a train toy gift that came from her father? Am I right? I don't know but I feel like I've always watched that as a kid🥺
Se tiver algum brasileiro aqui, me ajudem, quero saber se é só vocês ou eu que acham essa música parecida com o Hino Cristo pra mim dá harpa cristã???, eu no no Suzuki Vol.1 Lição 7 e achei a melodia muito parecida
This makes the song more famous in instrumental version more than in vocal version 😅. Many piano and violin method books have this song included but its lyrics are not often heard. I think the words are beautiful still, just need some more refinement though
2023 and I'm back again listening..
My dearly departed Mother would ask me to play this on her grand piano, not all that long ago. I Love You Mom, honey.
ur not the only one that lost ur mom. don't worry I know how it feels. god bless u :)

Interesting ! I just heard the German version which prompted me to pull up this site.

Today's leftists would say that colonialism hurt you. Is that true?
i hope you’re doing well today

The song definitely has that old-time romantic feel.
Very, very nice. Just what I wanted to hear ... and better. Rich
I have loved this song for over seventy five years.

My daddy would play this on his accordion and was one of my favorites. Dad passed in 2018 and I had this played this at his memorial. Miss you Pops!
May he rest in peace. I am sorry for your loss.
😢 I’m sowy for ur loss 😭
Dream Piano brought me here. Lovely music, back when music was real
Me too
Mee too bro...i just love this song
Me too bro
Me too
Yeah modern music is mostly bad
Sweet song and sung sweetly 😊
Back to the era where every music holds a very special and sincere message‹3
comedy probably didn't have that message but it's not the main intention there hehe
music now still has that but you may have to go much further than the top 40 stuff
@@wachamcaulid yo what drugs are you on
@@aghost5281 you’re kidding me
Answer: I am not on any I’m just not very sane hahahaha
@@wachamcaulid ok same here bro
I was born in 1999 and listen to this music in my seventeenth, this millennium never forget me about any legend songs because they are so everlasting!
You give me hope. A good future depends on awareness of the past, especially the positive past.
Welcome! There is a lot here to see. And I add a song just about every day.
Have you had a chance to hear on you tube a woman by the name of Nino Nadiradze singing this same song? It was also nice.
to value the past is a special gift.

I really enjoyed this simple old song. thanks for sharing.
My grandmother taught me how to play this on the piano. It's the only song I know how to play. Great memories ❤
Who here is listening to this during quarantine?

Stumbled upon this song in a beginner's piano book today (2024). I played it about 30 times :-) Didn't realize there was more than one verse.
Beautiful song my mum bought the song for me when I was little
I’m doing a solo for this whole entire song and I saw this video, this helped me out soooooo much, thank you
I just love it

I love Gorillaz and that song :D
It remind me when my grand grand grand grand grand pa has his first horse.
好好😊😊
19th century love songs make me want to cry so bad
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love this song I just played it on him on a game and it’s it just went down deep into my heart
Here after watching Satyajit Ray's movie Ghare-Baire
god the fact i listened to gorillaz before knowing this song existed, and coming back to both and being scared asf,,, 😟
sounds pretty good.
In Berlin sang man früher mit der Melodie: "schwimmt eine Leiche im Landwehrkanal"
How this English song become a German folk song would be an interesting story, this can be found in the article:

"Irish Folk Song" in Germany
Left Hand ______ Method
I learned this song in elementary school in Japan.
Good! I know a piano score and play the piano now!
Who else are here after Ghare Baire by Satyajit Ray?
The fact that I relate to this song in a bad breakup.
Sounds like the inspiration to Buffalo Gals!
I like Jim Crow, but this is good too.
I have the sheet music to this.
Your voice reminds me of Van Dyke Parks.
Gorillaz sampled this song
fast progress.
Btw I'm looking for the video of it where I think the kid girl there holds a train toy gift that came from her father? Am I right? I don't know but I feel like I've always watched that as a kid🥺

The melody better than the lyrics

Yank that spoken title! 0:06
The song makes me depressing
