[DecimationResolve]

Fucking love the Irish accent.

Leave your religion at home, this is a secular society, god is dead. Good music is good regardless!

[hunclemike]

@echo282 I have a better idea, leave your insults about religion and God at home. I'm not a religious fellow but I understand the comfort that people get from it, shame on you. If all people practiced the ten commandments, this world would be a much better place to live. You can have a belief without insulting others. This is a fucking music video, why did you feel compelled to write such a thing? Not enough attention from Mommy and who you think may be your Daddy?

Remember learning this in 2nd year,

[locomotive1804]

My late Dad who was an Irishman, used to sing this.

[furby41]

google John McCormack "the Croppy Boy" and you will be able to hear the song with the last line being "Breathe a prayer and tear for the Croppy Boy". Same title, but different lyrics than this one.

[PD1981]

Very haunting, sad and yet powerful

I think this man had one of the most wonderful and distinctive voices ever. One of the finest storytellers evr.

[queenievenus]

Nice voice. Great song to remind us of the sacrifices endured by the Croppies a song which has endured through time.

[tommyobrien84]

What a voice...Visited his grave the saturday night after he was buried...it was strange...so quiet....nobody there...so many flowers... A legend

thanks for posting this great song.

[HaulAwayJoe]

Is it really that important to post a comment about having the first view, comment and rating? Seriously, no one cares.

Anyway, great song and R.I.P Ronnie. His music will live on forever.

[elvissmoo]

Ronnie had the perfect voice and delivery to capture the sadness and tragedy of this song. Goodnight and joy be with you Ronnie.
