@daflip9000

Any idea who wrote the lyrics ? It is so clever, and beautifully played.

this song is actually written by Ralph Mctell, whose version I can not find, but is a much more romantic version.

As Ive Said On Fureys Posts Before... Listening To The Fureys Takes You From Your Room Across The Seas To Another Place

[Tokeballs]

"Ralph McTell has a version"???!!!..........He wrote the bloody song! I also believe Bob Dylan has a version of Blowing in the Wind, & The Beatles have done a version of Yesterday!!!

[dan1919breen]

a great tune

[misterwibbles]

I love being Irish.

[macker33]

Me too,getting sick of all the whining thats going on at the moment though.

[bomber1298]

Waiting for so long for someone to upload this. Ralph McTell has a version but surely this is the definitive version.Cheers!

[fiachmubh]

i dunno the ralph mctell version is pretty feckin savage! still think me dads versions the best tho.

[Bjovolf]

Ha, Ralph wrote it ;-)

[Craputubename101]

I said definitive version a chara, not original.

[billiebigalo]

I agree I love this song it brings so many memories We are all geeting older and the furies are getting fewer all a bit sad really

[WildWestRosie]

I think this is my favorite Furey's song! Thank you for posting it!

One of my favourite Furey tracks, not as well known as the others but a rare gem. Thanks for the post, as I think you are the first to upload this one.
