[spiegelhaus]

Last two verses are switched around! God I love Mary O'Hara! Gorgeous.

[Finarphin]

One of the best songs I've heard.

Absolutely gorgeous, heartfelt singing from Mary O'Hara. Incredibly moving!

@Athleticsfan958 Thanks :-)

a previous comment is so right Mary's maybe best song ever is indeed the Quiet Land of Erin. Ailiu Eanai is another gem.The songs of her 1st career are unequalled,she then had a most impressive breathcontroll In her "2nd" career not all songs were wisely chosen(e.g.Bridge over troubled water)but great she had returned Saw her 1981 on stage in the U.K. singing old songs as well thank God.And what an enormous personality she was/ is.The last of a generation,a standard for many to come

I loved this song and others by Mary O'Hara since the 60's. Too bad she's not singing anymore. The other great song is "The Quiet Land of Erin." Mary O'Hara.............The Best! O'HaraFanForever

Beautiful! And, heck, I've got lotsa scratches in my old age, too. :p The album scratches don't detract one whit from the beauty.

Hi pipewatcher. In this case the song and the singer are both Irish. Thanks for viewing :-)

Thanks for listening Paola. Hope the scratches didn't spoil it too much for you. :-)
