Christy and the great Planxty at their best!

I see a poster below remarks on the accents - I've heard that people from Newfoundland have Irish accents.

I'm 53 when I heard this song a long time ago (in the 70ies)I listened to it plenty of times to write down the lyrics, and it worked so why don't you try ? English is a foreign language for me!

I came across from Kerry 12 years ago.(Second deportee wave, before the celtic tiger)

First few nights here (Bosotn) I was as a party, Meet a few Newfie lad. I could have sworn they were from home. I thought I was a smart lad after narrowing the accent to Listowel. Then they set me straight,They were from Newfoundland. I swear St Brendan never came home. Eye opener for me. Clare's not far from Kerry
