  • Nobody sings this song like Liam O Maonlai.

    He is so talented. Love to hear him sing in the gaelic.

  • How many versions of this song is there?

  • He sounds kinda like Paul Brady

  • @TheRecommended

    wtf? not similar at all!

  • @italianguerrilla

    yep, quite similar

  • @TheRecommended I totally didn't realize it was him when I first listened, w/o watching. lol PB is great, sounds exactly the same now as in the 70's. Amazing.

  • What a fantastic voice. He has an original type sound and I love it. I like the traditional sounding songs best. The highly polished are nice, but don't sound authentic to me. This is a wonderful posting. Thank you.

  • So fare thee well, sweet Lisa dear

    And likewise to Derry town

    And twice farewell to my comrades boys

    Who dwell on that sainted ground

    If fortune ‘er should favour me

    And I do have money in store

    I'll come back and I’ll wed the fair lassie I left

    On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

  • Well we safely sailed to the other side

    In three and twenty days

    We were taken as passengers by a man

    And led round in six different ways

    We each of us had a parting glas

    In case that we never meet more

    And we drank a health to old Ireland

    And Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

  • We sailed three days, we were all seasick

    Not a man on board was free

    We were all confined unto our bunks

    And no one to pity poor me

    No mother dear, no father kind

    To hold up me head went to sore

    Which made me think more of the lassie I left

    On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

  • I tried to do the lyrics, not sure. It's a bit different than other versions. From Derry quay we sailed away On the 23rd of May We were boarded by a pleasant crew Ohhh! Bound for Americay Fresh water there we brought on board Five thousand gallons or more In case we'd run short going to New York Far away from the Shamrock shore (chorus in original, but not this version)
  • my great gradfather McCardle came to america just like in this song. I dont really know what part of ireland. anyway thank-you i love songs that tell a story.....peacethanks again for the video

  • i admire liam so much, as a singer.

  • So Beautiful! 

  • When and where was this recorded??

  • @whelo86 I stand to be corrected on this but I think it was in the early nineties at a concert in Belfast. 2 of my other videos

    Ricky Scaggs Liam O Maonlai Donal Lunny & Nollaig Casey and

    Carlos Nuñez, Nollaig Casy, Sharon Shannon & Donal Lunny

    were from the same concert.

  • @pddybrry Go raibh maith agat a Phádraig!

  • Thanks for the correction on my earlier comment. I was only guessing when I said that I thought it was recorded in Belfast. I only had a small bit of this concert on tape so wasn't sure.

  • @pddybrry

    what an amazing concert that t'would of been.

  • Great rendition.

  • This is my favorite version of this song.
