also, there are different versions of the lyrics to this song -- apparently the modern version of the song (this one) was based on a much earlier Irish (language) version of the song. the lyrics he sings here are, as far as i know, the standard lyrics for the modern (English language) version of Carrickfergus.
this live version of the song from boardwalk empire is in fact the best version of carrickfergus i've EVER heard, and it is because of the singer -- he's amazing! thanks so much for sharing his name, i've never even heard of John Treacy Eagan before!
Love this. I know you won't be able to get this on iTunes and YouTube converter will have the speaking in it so not ideal.
But my favourite version of this is by barleycorn. Similar in tempo and voice with music just obviously. I'm irish so I've heard a lot of different versions
