Mary of the Wild Moor - Harry Hibbs

[sarahsmits2]

I can remember when my opa used to play this on the accordian, and my uncle on the guitar and we'd all be singing it. Beautiful song, Harry Hibbs brings back lots of memories <3

[carollizc]

This brings back memories of listening to the Caribou Club on Thursday nights while my sister and I did the washing up after dinner. We would sing along with songs like this one - made me proud, then, to be Canadian, and still does.

I love this song......my father loved this song so much that everytime we had a family gathering and we were singing and jamming he would make sure that we sang this song. He would say .....sing my song...and of course we all knew what his favorite song was.....

[trickster999555]

one of the greatest voices i ever heard

[dtctboi2]

Harry Hibbs song from the heart and the songs mean't something to him as Johnny Cash sang it for the money. Different artists miles apart, would rather listen to someone sing with meaning . And Harry Hibbs was born and raised in Bell Island, NFLD not toronto as was indicated on an earlier post came to toronto when his dad died to support his family and bring them to toronto for a better life

[matach21]

Yes he did he was awesome. I love H.H. I remember going to his pub.....Oh how I miss those days....

[wwnixon]

Harry was the best ever

[regalrosie]

Rest in Peace, Harry. You did well!

[NLTreasure]

[ElMariachiC]

Johnny Cashs is the best imo

[NLTreasure]

[Massey207]
