A great parable for modern Ireland. God rest you, Liam.

OH WHEN THEY'RE AFTER ME LUCKY CHARMS AND I'VE GOT NONE TO LEND

WELL LET THE MARY ELLEN CARTER RISE AGAIN!

[blueputtee]

It tells u something about this number that Stan Rogers wrote and perfected when the great Liam Clancy takes it upon himself to use it in concert.

[LABCall]

This song never fails to move me. I first heard it a couple of years ago, and was absolutely stunned. A few months back, I looked up Stan Rogers' original on youtube. Great song, but not a patch on this guy, though! It's songs like this that tell you why I was christened Liam after Liam Clancy.

[Theallis1961]

Heres to you Stan and Liam. You'll not soon be forgotten.

[noneyageorge85]

[utubalicious2]

He'd have made a great priest.

[malachy1847]

@utubalicious2 Yep he would have...that was his mothers vocation to have a priest in the Family..... But his brothers took Laim off to the Pub.. and when he arrived back in a sorry state with them, she Knew that HER vocation was not to be...

[GPS1356]

Thanks for many years of great Music and Song-

Liam, RIP

[lanetemple]

REST IN PEACE Liam,.....and Bob Dylan was right, no one could sing a ballad like you.

GOD BLESS.

[Ruthybobz19]

Rest in Peace Liam.

Finally he's back with Tommy and his brothers together again in heaven. They must be having some craic up there! I hope my deceased loved ones enjoy the sessions!

I saw "The Lads" in 1988 in concert in Burlington VT, with three of my Best Friends. One of the Top 5 days of my 57 yr's! God Love ya Liam! I will try to come to "OUR" Island and shake yer paw and have a pint with you before next summer! You and yours have really been an influence in my life! Best, Richard Micheal Flannery Cudlipp

[MetaGrrrl]

This song was written by the late, great Stan Rogers. There's some good footage on YouTube of his version which is just lovely and inspiring.

[bull9stud]

thank you for posting this video.. from Occupied Iraq.. El Toro.

[lonepalm58]

I loved Stan Rogers' original, but Liam adds some emotion to this song that makes it mean more to me more now than ever.

[muintir]

Great song....great singer...true star!!!

[denis1501]

And you, to whom adversity has dealt its final blow

With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
