The holy ground in Cobh a haven for sailors off to sheebens and a union with the ladies of the night (hookers basically) i love this song nice one Luke.
Is that the same place as in..."I've courted girls in Blarney in Kenturk and Killarney in Passage and in Queenstown that is the Cove of Cork" as in Goodby Muirsheen Durkan?
It's a small town in the south of Irelnd called Cobh (pronounced Cove). Was know as Queenstown when the English had power over Ireland. The "church" is St. Colmans Cathedral.
Screwphone I apologise, I think I was just trying to explain my gratitude at seeing dry land after some traumatic journies on that ferry!! Cobh is the fine city/town I was referring to though
@Ricky529 fekn right. ma da used to av this on a rebel record. he passed on due to the big c. when i was 6 in 81 but me ma n elder sibblins played the record in republican govan for years after. memories.JCRFB.

I was taught this song at St. Columbus in Dunfermline, Scotland. I will not be ashamed to play or listen to this music.
