Hi Mick, its good to see you are still around,i heard you sing this solo with your guitar,23 years ago[travellers],you could hear a pin drop in that room,very moving.
No, No, No...It goes: In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea...Not: where the Moutains of Mourne sweep down to the sea...Listen to Don, the Master.
OK. Fair comment Mick. But Don's version hangs together better don't you think? I'm not in a position to knock any Irish singer or culture, it's just what I'm used to. Try the DM version and compare. I'm just a pedantic owld get that's all...
In fact this is only a snippet, I do use the "dark mourne" later in my recording. When my Mum used to sing this to us, we called it "The Job Song". Don's version is by far my favourite.

Very enjoyable, Mick.
I'm surprised that I didn't hear something like "We're off? Good. That ought to hold the little bastards" when you finished it though...

Or you could, of course, refer to the original Percy French lyrics, my friend...
