Written by Andy Barnes, who never seems to get the credit for it. Well done Andy one of the finest songs ever written mate.

Absolutely superb, the song and Sean

[nipplebrady1988]

what i ahte is how a bunch of bloody bunny huggers have leached on to this great sont by a true bunch of ledgens to get their piont across! all dubliners and luke kelly songs hould just have eather aphoto of video of them!

[circussal1]

@nipplebrady1988 true it is a great song, by a great band, and I would be the first one to appreciate a photo or video footage of the Dubliners, but listen to the words, if this isn't a song against whaling I don't know what it is! As such I fully applaud the *bunch of bloody bunny huggers* for using it as a background to an anti whaling campaign.

[senneuh1]

@nipplebrady1988 maby u noticed that they sung this song because they WANT to get their point across

no offence but its quite clear that this song is only made to realize men that they must act now to save themselves

[nipplebrady1988]

@senneuh1 i have known members of the dubliners for a few years and i doubt that sean sung this sont because he wanted to highlight the plight of whales (all thou i wont deny it does that job very well) i think they did it because its a bloody good song

[senneuh1]

@nipplebrady1988

probably your right,I just love the music,i don't really know much about the group,your right though that its a good song and my heart breaks everytime i hear it

[1743Severn]

Sean that was brilliant truly great song.

[1743Severn]

This is the first time I have heard Sean singing this song I have Known him when he was in a band in Coventry before joining the Dubliners trually awsome song.

[KarayanDesdemona]

Amazing song, heartwrenching...I really loathe the guy with the "We Kill Whales 4-Fun" T-Shirt.

[nichtmussolini]

I am hoping I can hear the song "I am the last of the whaling ships" very soon, cut them down, the majestic whales MUST live forever.

[kcray1000]

Haunting and taught provoking.

Listen to Eric Bogle's "song of the whale"

[jerseyside623]

awesome song, the irish decedents do a better job though

[k0vert]

[wynswife]

[erniegold]

Australians No 1 Automotive Info Site REVSCHECK has this song on top of page explaining why many never buy a JAP CAR - I would until there stop the slaughter.

[John41tube]

The Nips whaling ships should be target-

ed and sunk.

[flute4hire]

@John41tube why the 'nips' the icelanders, farhoese, & norwegens do it as well. I bet you eat tuna, there almost extinct we should sink you.

[sofab16]
