@vaskpapp which part of cork did you visit?

[Thrawn6211]

It's a song we can all relate to. If it's too good to be true...it usually is.

[SeamusMochi]

I'm Irish and proud. what I'm not proud about is this hangover...

[QueenetBowie]

@SeamusMochi Why, are you irish big drinkers?

[SeamusMochi]

@QueenetBowie Because it's in our tradition to drink, The one old ailment in Ireland to cure almost anything is a pint of Guinness. No Bullshit.

[queenblair311]

me dad used to sing this to me, only he'd change the words to fit whatever headband I was wearing at the time. i used to wear lots of little-girl headbands and bows when I was a child...

[pjconnor74]

God blessed the Irish. After Irish marauders enslaved St. Patrick at a young age, he escaped back to England to rejoin his Catholic father and mother. He studied to become a clergyman, and after being ordained he ventured back to the Pagan Ireland. After besting the Pagan King's magicians, he quickly began a conversion from Pagan law to Christian ideology, often converting the Pagan Irish to Christianity. Mythologically a cornerstone of Irish heritage, and serving as a Saint to Catholocism.

[boomer420sooner]

i'm more proud of my IRISH heritage than anything else. GOD bless the IRISH.

[cotada3]

My grandmother who died of cancer always used to sing this song to me before I would go to sleep.

[DannyOwen11]

@cotada3 R.I.P For your Nan man

Good song though this, Grew up with the family playing the dubliners

[rurbert]

My favorite Irish song. Looking forward to hearing it St. Patty's Day. When the band sings " I thought her the queen of the land" the crowd shouts" and she was!"...God I love it!

[youatemyenchalada666]

Tied up with a black velvet band

[HOT5PUR1]

samiimatee & reallifepeople,

No one twisted your arms to listen to this song. So therefore keep your fooking opinions to yourselves!

[kathleen1238]

whenever i listen to this song now, it brings tears to my eyes. I used to dance with my great uncle to this song and he passed away a few months ago. It just isn't the same listening to it without him. :(

[HOT5PUR1]

I always sing this song if I need cheering up - it has excellent lyrics.. it reminds me so much of Ireland!

[iluvGAA]

No-one asked your opinion you spastic

[yukonnahanni]

[markvaz1961]

Nice version but the best was the Irish Rovers.

[dkhluv85]

is there an upload for it anywhere? please anyone who has it, upload :)

ive been searching for a particular version of this song but i dont recall who sang it, so id really wanna listen to the irish rover's version!!! maybe its the one im after ...

[skipfires]

might be you want the Luke Kelly version. its here on youtube, and a supreme version... God bless ye Luke...

[dkhluv85]

thnk u v. much, i just listened to it & its very much close to the one i have in mind! maybe it is after all. but i still havent listened to the one the by the irish rovers.

i couldnt find it here.

[skipfires]

dk, here's another fav' version... Christy Moore And The Dubliners - Black Velvet Band. another is simply title The Black Velvet Band  black screen with scrolling white words... cheers

[dkhluv85]

thnk u v.much! but no, it wasnt the one :)

i wish someone would upload the one with irish rovers.

however, so far the Luke Kelly one is the closest, but maybe the im looking for is a studio version. also, i think they say 'me' & not 'my' like in the Luke Kelly's version?? but maybe im mistaken :P

anyways, thnx again very much for ur help :)

[UbiDuboi]

[RCherryman]

Who is singing this song?

[OztarAntoine]

Yeah, I'd like to know too.

Isn't the Dubliners with Patsy Watchorn ?

[Kennychan222]

THis is one of the most popular Australian folk songs in my view...It reflects the British crews being dumped in Tasmania.

[brownycrevice]

Hi Darrin, thanks for posting this buddy. Makes me wanna get a huge round of the black stuff!

[Davemaas]

Classic song! Thank you, Darrin for presenting Irish music to the world! You're efforts are appreciated.
