The Corries version is very good, but maybe this just pips it. But what a beautiful song. Close your eyes as you listen to it and you can actually see the man rowing his boat in time to the music.
@skullfokker I think the best version I have heard is Silly Wizard's. Musically The Corries version is played with a simpler chord pattern and is not therefore as poignant.

When I listen to Liam Clancy sing, I think always of my dad who took me annualy to hear Liam and Tommy Makem. = at the Downtown Caberet Rheater in Bridgeport CT.
Thanks a lot for sharing the Clancy Brothers with us. I always loved them and bought their LPs when I was young. They were the best of the best. Beautiful, thanks a mil
I am overwhelmed with love for my land of my birth,Bonnie Scotland ,when I hear Liam and his masterful rendition of this lovely song,it is no wonder that Bob Dylan and Oscar Brand regard him as one of the greatest Ballad singers ever! It is just simply a given, he is just wonderful,the voice full and soft and rich. Alba Go Bragh!
I love this song, my dad sings it too :') btw...that's my granny in the picture!!

At least I'm not weeping for Johnny Cunningham now; I met him in New Bedford, MA. Just a few months later, he died.

Until you hear Alex Beaton do this song you haven't heard it sung. A true ballad that is dark and beautiful at the same time.
