I can't hear this without a catch in my throat. I lived for over ten years on Camden Quay, directly opposite Cork Opera House. So many sad, "mad" ladies ended their lives "swimming out into the sunset" from this spot. The song is a lovely tribute.
There's a fair amount (but still not much) of Jimmy McCarthy (sic) on YouTube as well as Jimmy MacCarthy ... he's a man with a much misspelled name but enough talent for both versions.
The Song of the Singing Horseman (Jimmy MacCarthy) - one of my favourite albums, ever.
