  • Anyone who has lost thier dad will relate to this beautiful song RIP my old man died 20 years ago never forgotten.

  • Is this the original version of this song? My Dad used to play this song all the time when I was a kid and it's ingrained in my memory. Never knew who sung it and it took me forever to find it. Pretty sure the one he played all the time was sung by someone else, though.

  • i still have my da but like others it reminds me of times i spent with my granddad who passed in 97 but it also makes me think a times i have spent wit me da and it makes me think of what im gonna do when hes gone because hes the most important thing in my life like he showed me how to fish and how to make a wish and we used to walk through da fields with my dog like me and my dad have done everything together and im hating the thoughts of losing him

  • I first heard this in1982, a couple of weeks after My Old Man passed, broke down & cried like a baby. Don't break down these days but still bring a tear, and brings back great memories of my DAD.

  • God Bless my Dad Joe Williams. Dublin.

    R.I.P - Michael -

  • I will always remember you dad, my best friend. My old man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this was my dads favourite fureys song. i played an instumental version at his funeral in february 2009. i know he wanted me to, because he told me shortly before he died. R.I.P dad, love you to bits. XxXxX

  • I had a family friend play this at my Fathers funeral dec 08... i wanted to play this song for him myself but was not able to hold it together... our Fathers shaped our past and they guide our future.... search for " in my fathers house by PJ Murrihy"

  • no doutb this flowed from finbarrs heart about his old man as it dos us all lucky enough to know our old man.

  • This song and absent friends played at my grand fathers funeral loved him to bits an always will ......

  • fantastic.

  • great song

  • lovely song first heard this song when i was 15 gets to me every time even though i have not spoke to my old man for 17 yrs

  • call him now before it too late!

  • irishdude75

    Ginger is right call him,

  • Give him a call... I'm sure you have your reasons for not speaking but if it's trivial then call him... I stopped speaking to my old man for a few years over stupid things and then I got that call to say he was killed in an accident..... 12 years later the guilt still is there!

  • I drited away from my cousin for a year because of the new people he was hanging around with, not bad people, just a different scene. That morning we spoke for a while, that night he died. Today i would give my arm just to tell him ''thanks''. Please forgive your father. Theres a great line in ''the town i loved so well'' that goes, ''whats done is done, and whats won is won, and whats lost is gone forever''. I dont like butting in to peoples bussiness but i just had to giv sum advice ;)
