  • I should probably explain my last comment. Most of the people in the Maritimes have a mix of Irish and Scottish ancestors, so it makes far more sense that this was written in Ireland than in England.

  • What on earth are you on about??

  • Long Live Ciaran.

  • You'd say, saluting the dawn

    And the gift of another day.

    When fate struck a cruel blow,

    You bore your lot with stoic acceptance.

    With Shepherd's crook, your footsteps

    Found their echo in half-remembered places,

    Till they faded, all too soon,

    Back to the shadows of a Celtic twilight.

  • Embroidering and stitching Your story to the night air With guitar and harmonica. In old shebeens where time was barred, You toasted life with Preab San Ól. Whiskey-flavoured yarns flowed and Meandered from byways of memory Till dawn broke the spell Through a smoky haze. "Well that ties a knot on that one" You'd say, saluting the dawn
  • Remembering Ciaran Bourke By John Sheehan Sunday May 10 2009 LONG-haired, wayward chieftain Sloping in from Celtic mist; Recycling myth and legend Through the holes Of a battered tin whistle. Desk-bound harness untackled, You surrendered to the lure of living. Like a moth to a flame, you followed The warm glow of music and the craic. Bhí an Ghaeilge agat ón gclíabhán, Beguiling Peggy Lettermore; Lamenting Eanach Cuain;
  • Pure class, i have said enough

  • A fantastic song, though, done by the original and incomparable Dubliners.

  • Irish????

    Yet another English folk song gets reclassified by the ignorant :-(

  • interesting

    could you explain a bit

  • GO fuck yerself you will not take this from us hun.

  • amanreadingstories, yes, I will explain myself.

    If you check the Roud folksong and ballad index, you will see that the vast majority of versions of this song were collected in England. There are a few versions that made it to places such as Canada, Australia and the US.

    Now, the fact is that this song was *never* noted in Ireland, though it was taken up and popularised by the Clancy Brothers.

    Do I have a problem with Irish people singing any song that that fancy? No, of course not.

  • @andrewwigglesworth If you find the right pub in the Maritimes you'll occasionally hear someone break out into a song like this.

  • irishpoe, you sound like a nice person but I think that I will declibe your proposal.

  • RIP Ciaran

  • The good die young.

  • great.5 stars

  • it's Ciaran's twentieth anniversary this year. 10 May, to be exact.

  • then i'll celebrate until I puke my liver

  • Sorry, correction. It's his 21st. I was a year out. Forgot we were in a new year.

  • what's done is done.. too bad they all go before their time

  • Ciaran's last record, wasn't it.

  • Sounds like Luke♥.

  • Who is it I can hear singing with Ciaran in the chorus? Sounds too high pitched to be Luke or Ronnie.

  • Clearly Luke

  • Comment removed

  • Yes. Luke is singing harmony and Ciaran is singing the tune.

  • This (early?) version is surely the best!

    I think Ciaran Burke was very underrated - he had great talent.

    Thanks for sharing it.

  • Ciarán Bourke

  • Never heard this version before, very nice.
