Whats the story with this song? I've come across it many years ago in this punk version by Anti-Nowhere League? Is it an old traditional song, or liam clancy takin it from the punks??
@LedSledJoe "Whats the story with this song?" It was written by the English folk singer Ralph McTell and was a massive hit for him in 1974. Reached number 2 in the British charts
I've never been to London. But I can say that Everywhere in the world is the same, We are all face with problems. Whenever life is hopeless or the world forgot you, just look around yourself -friends always stay beside you. This song is very beautiful and Ralph Mc Tell has done very well. I love his powerful voice and his relaxed music. thank you.
A good ol night at the pub with your old man and a couple of beers. Been there since 4 its now 10. Watching the game, having a blast. Old times renewed. Being with my dad is the best time in the world. I would rather spend 1000 years with my dear ol pa then 5000 years with 20 of my best friends.. If it wasn't for my dad I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be happy. He has made my life.. Love you dad!
Everytime i hear this man sing i feel my heart filled of proudness and joy for my country! Its green fields, its windy and rainy weather, its pubs, its music, its magic! I just hope it's all gonna survive to these troubled times for my sons to see it as well.
@MegaPanzers1 totally agree absolute brillint talent which has served yor country well, known world wide, i agree times are hard but there are no hardier people on this planet you will come out of this eventually stonger. the lads will will be fine, erin go bragh (i hope i got it right)
Now everybody's died, and all our tears have dried we'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more - we'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light then we'll pass out, throw up, and then we're drinking once again! (Da Vinci's Notebook)
Liam's voice is so rich he could be singing the news and and I would stil love it. God bless, youll be severely missed on this side of the veil (I'll bet they're having the craic on the other side!)
@IndieWalrus I didn't hear about it until two months ago. I was watching a video and looked at the comments and saw RIP Liam. I thought the guy was stupid at first but then i checked it out...
When i was ten, i seen a prog on the tv of the Clanceys and TM in concert in Belfast with their Arran sweaters on..I am in awe of them ever since. I begged my parents to buy me an Arran sweater and when they did, my friends all mocked me..i didn't give a shit.. I loved their music and thier style.
beautiful. so very beautiful. Thank you all who did this.

There are a few artists who preform with such heart and warmth that its impossible not to smile. Liam Clancy has a beautiful soul.

My childhood friends and my own relations have all passed on now like melting snow.
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming soft is the grass my bed is free
Ah to be back in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the salty sea...
