@gagl16 wow best one so far just wow

[Mytinhalo]

I remember this song well. When I was about 4 years old, my mother taught me this song. I'm so happy to see it's living on. I think I'm going to go thank my mom now.

[hupkeng]

Unbelievably good!

[tom1997koester]

go home 1hater ! i love this song :)

[folkmusicgirl]

Anne Byrne has an extremely beautiful voice. I have some of her vinyl LPs' and just surprized she was not more well known, outside of Ireland anyway.

Has her own style but of the caliber of vocals like Joan Baez.

Love Anne's singing!

[flooberbloob]

@folkmusicgirl Her vinyl is so hard to find. Mary Black (a fine singer in her own right) owns the master tapes of all of Anne's albums and refuses to allow them to be used for re-release. Anne unfortunately signed the rights away in the sixties but her request for re-release was rejected by the Blacks. Hard to believe.

@flooberbloob

How did Mary come to own Anne's music - how did that happen and most of all why, why, would Mary refuse to re-release Anne's music? Is there no legal way that Anne could do anything about this? This is a shame - I just cannot understand why Mary would do this. What possible reason could there be for Mary Black to withhold any of Anne's music to be re-released.

Thanks.

das ist die beste Version dieses Lieds, das ich je gehört habe. Einfach großartig. In der heutigen Zeit bräuchten wir mehr davon. Great Song.

[BenjaDiazRovano]

someone can write the lirics?? ,  thanks

[upaluppa]

This is such a beautiful rendition of the song, I really enjoy listening to it!

I can not thank you enough for sharing this musical gem!

Say, are there any other recordings of this duo available?

I would love to hear more of them!

[plesisnjim]

their voices go so good together...where are they now?

[milano921]

@plesisnjim probably dead because this is recorded in 1967.

[flooberbloob]

@milano921 not so. Jesse Owens still performs based out of New Jersey and Anne Byrne is alive and well and enjoying life in Dublin....

[plesisnjim]

[MrBosnianSoldier]

message for nacionalistic idiots who commented below me: this is country song and there is no original author because it's American oral folk song. Johnny Stulic was reworked this song and named it Usne vrele višnje.

[TheAlpha2090]

when was this recorded?

[stopsmokenow]

awesome !

[19RaS93]

Try to search for a song ''Usne Vrele Visnje'' that's this song on serbian

[ustipak666]

@19RaS93 its not on serbian, its on croatian

[19RaS93]

@ustipak666 It's yugoslavian band, but croatian language don't exist, I'm really sorry about that, but couple of words from english plus serbian, doesn't make a language... You agreed on that 1851 in Viena, so if you created your own language since than, congratulation! Ne želim da se raspravljam o sranjima...

[TheTibi111]

@19RaS93 Ti si skrenuo da ga jebeš.. naravno da hrvatski jezik postoji.. nemoj se sramotit

[19RaS93]

@TheTibi111 Boli me uvo za hrvatski jezik, boli me uvo za srpski jezik, daj da slušamo pesmu =)

[sedmaoddevet1]

@19RaS93 ,, You soo glup, and I smijem se.. soo strong, when, my tears, teku po guzici...:)do not feel loše...:)

.. sad ignoliđ koji je to jezik.....:)

[19RaS93]

@sedmaoddevet1 kenjaš

[SAKmajCROdik]
