Saw Mick, O'Connell, & Keane do this at Berea College circa 1995, and it changed my life. My daughter was 2 at the time and I learned all the lyrics so I could sing it to her. She's 17 now and still has a soft spot in her heart for me singing this song. Thanks for making it available on YouTube.

@ antbug --- Suck it up bud !! Yours and mine ancestors did us a GREAT service immigrating. You have been brainwashed by the media which has sickeningly become so liberal I want to vomit !!! I don't listen to their BS,I got smart years ago when Clinton became pres. I now vote my conscience,conservative. we need to change the US one vote at a time. DON'T GIVE UP ON US !!!

[heinzlegermain]

I'm french (16 years old) and I studied this song at School, It's really magic and beautiful, but really sad !

I can't stop listening this song again and again, Peter Jones has made great (but really sad) lyrics.

Thanks for this beautiful song !

[LSA2014x0x0]

@heinzlegermain its not his lyrics. He excerpted pieces from letters of a father writing to his son, John, who had moved to America.

[heinzlegermain]

Thanks, I know that these are not "his" lyrics because he read old letters. But I think he has changed a lot of words in order to create a nice song. That's normal.

Thanks for your answer

[pleuni101]

Beautiful song and pictures...great !

[mossie2644]

nice job!!!!

[burgerkindhanne334]

to s4lis: me too!

this is a very great song! but i am so sad, when i hear this... :-(

[zepstox]

I miss Roscommon so much, Castlecoote especially. When our tribe emigrated in 1949 to Liverpool, we don't know where they came from but Roscommon has such a strong pull for me........songs like this don't help....

[s4lis]

we had this song in our english lesson=)

[maryredmond]

Love the song - heard it first more than 15 yrs ago as I drove to work - sat in the parking lot to fix my face - the father was like my grandfather, only some many years earlier. From the same part of Ireland and used the same words ....

Thanks.

This is one of the saddest songs that I've ever heard but very beautiful at the same time, I found it on a compilation Album called Bringing it All Back Home Vol 1, which I found in a Hardware store in Mt Vernon Ohio a few years ago, sung by this Artiste, An excellent song on an excellent Album

[catholicrik]

aye, Sad...yet to borrow a line from the devils own...." dont look for a happy ending Tom. It"s not an American story...It"s an Irish one" My mothers people were/are Dillons from west Meath, came over after the Famine. God bless them all.

[CTyankee4277]

I'm an American (of Irish heritage on my mother's side) and discovered this song listening to a college radio station in New York City. This has to been one of the saddest songs I've heard since "Fruit Tree" by Nick Drake. I was really moved by this song - beautiful and sad.

[Taritaritarara]

for two years my english teacher showed me this song. at this time I heard the song the first time I'd cry. Now after two years I hear this song again. And I have to cry again.

So a sad song :(~ Love it! It really touches me.

[PaulPullermann]

great voice

[misssarah1129]

Song gets me everytime. amkes me bawl bloody murder!

[jratt2]

The singer is not Mick Moloney, its Robbie O'Connell. Mick Moloney and Jimmy Keane accompany him.

This version is from the Bringing All Back Home documentary series - you can see O'Connell singing it.

[orckiller91]

I was gonna say that lol you took care of it for me, thanks lol

[Maewynia]

Nice little bit of family loyalty there, John. Good for you!

[jratt2]

haha

[TheKKIsBack]

Good job John, ill take u at ur word and ive fixed it

[jratt2]

Good Man TheKKIsBack!

[fakex]

im from greece. just studied/been in edinburgh for a year.. anyways, this song is touching :/

[DUCATIROOLS]

I have it, but i need to know why it makes the 9 mb song to a 76 kb song!? :S

[TheKKIsBack]

Couldnt tell ya mate...maybe the 76kb is just the project ur working on, make sure u actually create the video, it should end up being 30-50mb or something, the project is just a save file with information about what ur doing in the program if ya get me...saving that is no good, on the left side under "Finish Movie" there's an option -> Save to my Computer, make sure u click that and it takes a few mins to create it

[DUCATIROOLS]

I have another version with Mick Moloney too? :P

Please, help me to put it on youtube!!!

What program do you use? Windows Movie Maker?

[TheKKIsBack]

Ya windows movie maker bud, u can download it for free if u dont have it alrdy.

[mickymac61]

there is a cd of the tv series bringing it all back home

[DUCATIROOLS]

Grrrh... I wanted to upload this video for 7 months ago, but it told be the file was too small! :S it was a 9 mb song, but it told me it was 76 kb? :S

[mrmike051762]

i wish this was on cd somewhere..

mike

[TheKKIsBack]

Bringing it all back home...get it off amazon if u can, has a heap of really good songs -> Rose Connelly by the Everly brothers is a classic
