[TheMoll7]

Thank you for posting this, my lovely mum ( from Newry , Northern Ireland ) passed away in 2009, she allways sung this, we played this at her funeral.

[mrhostel43]

if you dont see this song as just a beutiful song as( it is) they obviously are more intrested inn politics than music so why listen to music at all, if you are more conserned about polititis than music

Some Brits asked me how to resolve the northern Ireland issue. I responded, "Well, to start, you can get the fuck off our island."

[AdieMorgan65]

Got it right on that, RIP

kiemur1; read the video synopsis!!

[kiemur1]

I haven't heard this song in years. Can anybody tell me if it was in memory of Terence McSwiney, Lord Mayor of Cork who died on hunger strike in Brixton Prison in 1920, or more generally in honour of any Irish patriots who died in Brixton in that period?

[PackingPadre]

@kiemur1 Yes, my father, who was stationed post Civil War in Cork with the Guards told me it was in memory to Terence McSweeney, RIP.

Great song, lyric and patriotism. I am not an Irish but I was in South Ireland back in 1985. I like the people and the country.

[brigidrocks]

lovely song not heard it in years, frank is a great singer thanks for posting this song.

[Kukumatz]

As a Dutchman I choose this song on my funeral. Deep inside I feel like a Irishman.

Don't know why just do.

[sainglain]

@Kukumatz - well you're welcome to Ireland any time (south Armagh, south Down & north Louth) sláinte!

[TenderTrap86]

I love this version. Thanks for posting.

[josparkes1]

Beautiful, it has virtually the same tune as Kevin Barry !

Love it !

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@josparkes1

That's because it IS the SAME tune... LOL

[josparkes1]

@GlasgowCeltic88 Yes, it is wonderful and this tune is a lovely, and a very fitting tribute to the young Kevin Barry who was so brave and true. I took pics of his grave at Glasnevin last year.

[lewis1936]

@josparkes1

I think you will find the song is in reference to Terence Macswiney.1879-1920

[josparkes1]

@lewis1936 Thank you, it is very beautiful, I love it !

[lewis1936]

@josparkes1

Totally agree,wonderful song, I have no doubt you know that Terence Macswiney

was Lord Mayor of Cork,arrested on charges of sedition and imprisoned in Brixton prison,where he died after a 74 day hunger strike.
