An Buinneán Buí Liam 'Mac Fhlannchaidh' 's Paddy Beirne

[Quejevois]

Great one, from on Clancy to another. Born American, but Irish blood will tell! Think I'll have a sip myself!

Mary Kathleen Clancy....

Nice one Paddy. I heard this first in the nineties on Ciaran s Sunday morning sessions, while I lived in W. Cork for a time. I shall be faithfull to your message and nip down to the pub in Ciarans memory.

is that Liam Clancy singing with ??

[muisire]

This tattered old song from the wreckage of Ireland's ancient language has long been one of my favourite drinking songs in any language. Oh, the poignant glory of it - what a legacy, what a golden rose of word and music, in which our common humanity shares its sadness with our suffering fellow creatures. Tá glóir agus mianach ann gan aon amhras agus gura fada buan clú an fhile a chum é.

A great rendering of a great song: "Play it again, Sam!"
