Dont Mind The begrudgers....where ever music is sung in the spirit of the people, it is at home....no more so, for Irish music ,than in Newfoundland...but it could be Canada or China..Japan or Egypt , and anywhere else you can think of....in spirit we all share the same longing for freedom , equality and a great night of song and dance......this is how the music is preserved..by sharing!!... Go nDeirigh an bothar libh.(may the road rise before ye)......Matt
@WingLee51 - I was always told that while the Newfies were a mashup of European/Britannic cultures, they somehow managed to be their own culture in spite of it. :)
just because the people singing the song aren't irish song doesnt mean it can't be an irish song, GBS is hardly the first group to record this song, though this is a nice version
@Vaginafuck1 its actually still an irish folk song most of the newfoundland ancestry is from ireland this song is probably much older than great big sea.
I love the instrumental accompaniment. Does anyone know of a version without the words?
