Took a Scotsman to put in words the magic qualities of our little Island-when we're not moaning! First saw mary singing in 1979 unplugged to about 40 people in a small country pub and have loved her ever since! Want the words of that song on my tombstone-but not anytime soon!
I'm born and raised in Yorkshire, but my dad was from Co, Tipperary. My earliest memories of music are when. my Irish relative used to come over and visit us.My aunt Kathleen played piano and we'd all sing Traditional Irish folk song, well I was only knee high , so didn't know the lyrics, but listening to Irish folk songs brings back such very happy memories for me. Lovely singing Mary...
My best wishes and kind regards to Irish people all over the world...
@MrHazer1987 Yes and I'm a good singer too, at least in the shower...well, at least I think so. Anyway I'm half Irish and no one can take that away from me, so I must be at least a half good singer. So there Mister!
one of the greatest voices and songs ever:)

Her voice sounds very similar like Elaine Silver's... And that's a great comparison...

J'écoute depuis bientôt quinze ans l'album de Mary Black "the thorn upon the rose" sans jamais me lasser !
J'aime les Irlandais et l'Irlande bien entendu !

Got to watch this again. Mary's voice is so wonderful!
Sorry friends when I didn't answered your comments. I guess I was a little bit tired for a while, but I love you all.
Love too to England and Ireland.
May both countries forever live in peace with eachother from now on.

This rendition is good, but not as good as Mary's soulful outpouring, accompanied by De Dannon, on "Gael Force."

This is a difficult song to sing but Mary does the best job of it by far. She has the perfect voice for it.
