This is a brilliant version of this lovely song! I love Christy's version, too...but my problem with his is that he sings it too quietly....this one is just right.
Excellent variant of Irish poet and singer Barney Rush's lament for the daughter of The Man From Scapa Flow, which is a novel by Taffrail. Christy Moore popularized it starting with his 1976 self-titled album. Thanks for sharing. :-)
best version of this beautiful song!

I'm not knocking Christy Moore, he does a great version of this song...but I like the Masterless Men version better.
