In memory of my farther. Arthur James Duffy passed away 8th January 1972. Love you Daddy. You left us too soon...

[bigjmillward]

My mum always sang this song to us as kids, the memories, i love her so much and I am blessed to still have her.



[evsdad1404]

so evocative...reminds me of my dad singing to my brothers and me. Cream always rises to the top!

[GuyFawkes15]

Where God meets Father Christmas.

[EireRepublic32]

Me Fathers favourite song, and no wondering why. What a beautiful performance Finbar Furey.

I may come from the UK but when you hear this voice and the rest of the group it makes me feel really good. I may be an old codger but this is quality at it's best. May they go on making sweet music for years to come. Listening to it brings back happy childhood memories which will never die, I salute Ireland for it's brilliant songs.

[tonightwefly]

reminds me of my irish childhood working down the mines with my old dad, lots of love dad xx

[macatmyahoo]

Rember this song from when i was very young. Reminds me of my grandparents, a grandad who would call down and wake the local pharmicist at home to get ear drops for me in the middle of the night as I was crying with the pain of my ear. I have tears streaming down my face now....special memories

[showaddy11]

is davey is famous as he effir wants to be. what a special voice. soft and grittle when he chooses. his rendition o the green fields of france always make me cry. i had an anscester watching his brother dying for no reason so i prefer to listen to the song when it.s raining

[spikie119]

this remind's me of my irish childhood growing up in england and my father singing this to my sister as a youg girl. who has passed on before him with cancer love you sis

thanks dad brings, a tear to my eye writing this

[nancyfloressantos]

A feeling of nostalgia...........

[BobTheWhistler]

This recording of Finbar was made decades ago but his singing never ceases to move me. The conviction in his voice is palpable. No one does it with more emotion. Thanks, Finbar.

[irishdude75]

"Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)" is a popular song. The music was written by Evelyn Danzig, the lyrics by Jack Segal, at Ms. Danzig's home on Long Island. The song was published in 1949.

[MrThomashope]

Can anyone help me verify this - in the early 1960s, didn't Wayne Newton perform this on an episode of "Bonanza"? It's an image I can't shake after all these years - it made such an impression!

[mush1955]

much better than Sir Cliffs version !

[jeangair]

Our mum & dad used to sing this lovely song to us.

They were both lovely singers.

[redwingduck]

great stuff peace on you and your family

[paloriggs]

[leithE6]

[padraicohare]

Get a grip man! People are watchin'! ;)

[redwingduck]

cant get a grip on the real modern world that would make me and you a fool this song will be remebered as our sanctuary

[cheerydavie]

a beautiful song given the Furey/Arthur treatment  thanks

[billbailey2]

It's one of those songs everyone thinks is old, but it was only written in 1949, by Evelyn Danzig and Jack Segal. A lovely tune.

[Kleenz6596]

Thanks for the info. Thank You.

[benny266698]

the emotion in his voice gives me goosbumps

[blondiebabs]

simply

wonderful

thanks so much for the music hun  ...xbabs

[muffles36]

just simply brilliant

[josparkes]

I agree with you, this brings back memories for me, and makes me think of my own daughters, very emotional.

[Huargo]

Irish forever

[josparkes]

Brings back memories, this is just so beautiful and sad too. Is this song Irish ? as it's very old, and I heard it when I was a child, and I am 59 now. I have never heard it played as beautifully as this though.

Love it !
