Damn!! For the past 25 years I thought Bert's version was the original. But to be honest, although Bert's version will endure as a classic, you cannot beat discovering the original version of a song you love. This is priceless, thank you so much.
My most favorite song! I fell in love with him with this song. My late brother James took me as a young girl to see the Clancys at Carnegie Hall. Front row seats. He looked at me when he sang this song. Later we went to the Lions Head in Greenwich Village. It was a secret only to a few, where they went after their concert. They set up in the back of the bar and we had the privilege of another concert, only it was very personal. God Bless the family<3
great vid thanks, fantastic version by Liam
(-dont think he wrote it though, brief internet search says its a traditional Irish song of unknown origin)

@grummash1 Black Waterside is a traditional folk song, this isn't the "original"
