[shoespoons]

it wrecks my head, another generation cast aside, da latest budjet a joke, they want young people to leave so they can say unemploument is down

[89forks]

Twould bring a tear to an aul shtone it would

[GBYRNE123]

the banking elites are causing this, if they wanted they could stop mass immigration, poverty, wars etc but they dont care about you, theres no profit in peace for them , great song btw ;')

[daveroberts1989]

top voice 

[GarveyAmanda]

That Was Played On My Step Da's Funeral When Ever I Hear It I Cry It's A Very Good Song

[liverpool1ization]

just maybe the best lyrics for a REAL love song love ya Rxxx

[Tratra9129]

I enjoy the irrelevant ill informed comments regards Bankers. I am one, yes, it's very sad what has happened. No one seems to realise is that is wasnt bankers mortgaging themselves at levels they couldnt afford, buying houses, flat screen tvs etc that they couldnt afford. They made have made the gun, but no one forced the masses to pull the trigger... What is funny now is that we are leaving.. along with our huge tax payments.. which no one seems to get will turn the UK into Ireland..byyeeeee

[fineirish2]

@Tratra9129 oh ur a wanker sorry banker, and ye i bet ur family are in callin distance u pleb, the country's in a fucking state because of u and ur fat bastard friends, i know u say it wasnt ur fault's but it was, how much was ur mortage? and what do u mean "we are leaving" were the fuck did u go/are goin?

[oneill561]

christy moore is a legend and this song is beautiful:(

[ilenrover]

Bring tears to the eyes! already immigrated to Australia! It kills me that i had to leave but i was left wit no choice fuck the irish goverment both past and present ye've ruined our country and the people in it!

[MrRossfraney]

@ilenrover past ? past? dont be a gobshite , this emmigration was under british rule , not an irish government , fuck naeivity

[ilenrover]

@MrRossfraney Have you left ireland? Obviously not! i wasnt talkin about the brittish rule either i was talkin about current and past governments of ireland that corrupted our country forcing the youth of our country to leave!

[MrRossfraney]

@ilenrover like i said no past government has caused mass emigration since the time of british rule , youve obviously never looked at a history book either

[Moviethemecollector1]

@ilenrover Yes I Agree, Fuck All The politicians In Ireland, I Am Still Living Here And I'm Thinking Of Getting The Fuck Out Of Here With All My Family, Including My mother And Father.

[SorchaNiRiain]

[condern]

[kankyybub]

[ihatemuckdjs]

@kankyybub Cry baby..... I bet your da rides kids!

[ciaranthomson94]

@ihatemuckdjs why do cunts like you comment on these videos when your opinions are clearly not welcome

[ihatemuckdjs]

@ciaranthomson94 Do you feel better now you ugly little cretin?

[mickigoe]

What utterly dreadful lyrics !! Just heard it on a local radio show - I was squirmiing for the poor writer - one Johnny Duhan - talk about wringing the neck of a metaphor until it shrieks. How often does Christy puke singing this. There's verse ; second rate rhymin' and then there's this. As Mike Murphy would opine - "Yowsa , yowsa !" Ouch !!

[nidhailigh80]

beautiful song...gives me a lump in my throat every time i hear it..: )

[ihatemuckdjs]

@nidhailigh80 Ponce

[MsTeacher82]

Such a beautiful song..

[MissyBieber07]

I love this video I'm doin it for my graduation mass as i am leaving primary I will prob cry

[bearbehind1]

This song has so many wonderful memories and thoughts for me. It is a song of unconditional love and intimacy. It speaks of a love between peoples that is the greatest gift a couple can ever share. It was sung at my wedding and I played it again a handful of weeks later at the funeral of my adored wife.

Some songs hold you still and rooted to the spot. They calm the tired and morrning mind, enable the beauty of life to shine through and allow the sadness to be put aside a while. Wonderful.

[iDannyM357]

i listen to this song with my nan who is now pass awy

[coolcumt84]

[fingalfolkclub]

Great song, great voice, great artist! Often a tribute to Christy during one of our round the house sessions!

[barrylowry]

always brings back wonderful memories of times back in Co.Mayo

[japmanmdna]

im only 18 and i love this country, im drawing dole all myyear sick of it..imagrating soon

[glenn26374]

@japmanmdna Ye same here. I'll probably end up emigrating soon on my own. This country is screwed for the next 5 to 10 years. There's nothing here. Emigrating is rising like hell.

[stephenrodgers1000]

For Peter.

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[derekbrn65]

Great Song...!

[vivascargill]

I am so angry that I never heard of Christy until I was old--so many years of honor and pleasured missed!

[SeedsofKarma]

The meaning of life holds no place for Bankers,Governments...etc, THEY SERVE ONLY THE DEVIL HIMSELF,the gift of this song is from the man above,as is life itself. Chrisy what an amazing meaningful voyage you've come in you're own life in sharing such words of wisdom!!!!

[IAmBurger]

My brother walked down the aisle to this. Soppy and stuff buts it is a wrecking song like.

[crashdemann]

WOW WOW WOW this song has given me goose bumps!!!!

[ireland3310]

such a powerfull song like any of christy moores.

[lyndastar01]

me and my boyfriend of 6 years want this played at our wedding for our 1st dance, love it.... christy love form dublin :)

[mervuemartin1]

This was the song we used to put on when our first daughter was born,I am thinkin of my wife and family now listenin to dis, wish I was with them now, but Ireland has left me with little choice but to work and live away from my family,Ireland, how can I forgive you for this,look what the bankers have done to my family and me,apart from the face but not in mind>>>>>>>>>>>

[lyndastar01]

@mervuemartin1 i agree, the banks its there fault and the tax payers are gonna pay for it, get brian cowen out

[ayrfield1]

@mervuemartin1 For some reason I just decided to listen to the voyage by Christy to night and I saw your comment. You sound very upset and i don't blame you. Blame lies with the greedy bankers, but for them we would still have a great little country. From your comments it sounds like I might be a lot older than you and therefore I have been through this before in the 70's and 80's. We have been through this before and we will get through it again. Best wishes

[PopLawler1]

@mervuemartin1 I totally agree with you, at this moment i'm sittin in an apartment in israel out here to work leavin my partner and 3 boys at home while all them shameful bankers get off scott free for ruinin our country, B##tards

[lally174]

@mervuemartin1 We'll blow up the banks of marble, shoot the guard on every door and share out the vaults of silver that the workers sweated for.

[ackymsue1]

@mervuemartin1

i am guessing your name is martin? this song reminds me of my partner, both of us met out of our divorces, we have between us 4 girls, he has 2 and me also. i love the words of this song. my partner is called martin and after being in remission from cancer over 5 years it has decided to rear its ugly head once again, so here goes......... the unknown.

[marinac00]

@ackymsue1 So sorry to read your post. My mum died of cancer just before Christmas.....please God you will beat that arsehole of a disease again xxxxx

[marinac00]

@mervuemartin1 God is good and hopefully you will return here to be with your family again soon xxx

[bannanachops]

@mervuemartin1 May the bankers burn in hell.

[CeltiicFC]

@bannanachops wanking bankers

[ihatemuckdjs]

@bannanachops Or In burger king!

[saulite80]

@mervuemartin1 you are a good man, un like the gansters and monsters that ran our beautifull country, i too have to go from my family in june.

[Higgi4]

@mervuemartin1 keep the faith, hope it all works out for you

[ihatemuckdjs]

@mervuemartin1 Are they dead?

[pidgeo]

I want to dislike your comment, but its so true. Sick of all my close friends and family being forced to leave home to make a living. It not fair on any of them

[matmaxwwe]

@mervuemartin1 most people that leave ireland to work abroad dont have a wife and kid to leave behind. that was ur own choice and if u ask me u picked money over family,and while ur gone ur wife is more than liely bangin sum other bloke and ur kids are callin em daddy ,u didnt have to leave ireland u just didnt wanna work in mc donalds or tesco, how can u forgive urself ?

[Aislina123]

@matmaxwwe i hope to god this is a joke.

[matmaxwwe]

@Aislina123 NO LOVE ITS AN OPINION AND AN OBSERVATION, THE JOKE IS U WASTING UR TIME ASKING ME THAT QUESTION, WAIT..ARE U DE WIFE. HAHA

[jackielennon1]

@mervuemartin1 Here never listen to them twats ..Make ye boke them ones would ..You do what ye have to to provide for ur family.. God Bless !

[matmaxwwe1]

@jackielennon1 god bless? shut the fuck up will ya, its people like you that have the economy fucked, with your "lets all do what we want and spend what we have cos god will provide for us if we need it" bullshit ideals, the only twat here is you for being so openly stupid by posting that comment, he can "Provide" all he wants for his family but whats the point if they dont have a father around,ya stay with ur kids and stick at it,ya dont leave ur country in the shit and fuck off.or ur family.

[spindrift1961]

I first fell in love with this song in 1989 - it's timeless, and has got meaning to me and my wife now we've got our own crew!

[birdman404]

My late father introduced this song to me many years ago, he loved it and i cant listen to it still to this day without shedding a tear when it comes to the part about starting the voyage with just him and my mum and then having me and my siblings around them. Now i think of me and my own husband and our children. A beautiful song, thanks for posting it.

Christy Moore is my biggest hero. I saw him live at least 3 times now and he always puts on a brilliant show (funny and entertaining as well as great songs and music). He sang this song for me as a request a few years back for my birthday (thanks to my Dad lol).

This is a beautiful song (def one of my favs). Thanks for uploading:-)
