[MegaGhost74]

Is féidir le daoine le do thoil díreach cosúil leis an gceol ar a bhfuil sé, agus más rud é nach gá duit aon rud maith a rá .... Bhuel a rá nach bhfuil aon fhocal ansin, Más rud é nach bhfuil a fhios agat do stair na hÉireann t suas! Níl gach Bailéad Ghaeilge faoi na Trioblóidí é sin a dhéanamh dom ar dtús báire agus pacáiste sé leis an tarbh. Riachtanais aon duine é nó is mian leis.

A musician who is justly famous worldwide for her beautiful voice and meaningful songs.

Certainly puts Kim Zolciak and all of these current pop starlets to shame.

[PackingPadre]

@michaelceltic1967 Not to take anything away from the great hero Bobby Sands MP, but I believe that quote was first stated by Padraig Pearse. Sands was properly quoting Pearse.

[iancmcintyre]

@keithntara the war is not over until there exist 1 Ireland united and free of British rule

[MALIC571]

BOOM, BOOM The brits are doomed the IRA are going to kill you soon...!!!

[JONBHOY57]

@grigorovich07: So you think that the brits would have done like wise re: the last line of this song ( i dont think so ) For they had a shoot to kill policy, Re-read my post on Gibralta. And what about the 14 men in Derry etc etc etc etc Would you like me to carry on?

[juanitaxoxo]

@JONBHOY57 i agree mate

[JONBHOY57]

GLASGOW FOR OUR ISLE OF IRELAND......CIRA!

[JONBHOY57]

God bless you Kathleen RIP. But our struggle for freedom in the north of Ireland continues, Even for another 800 hundred years or more. CIRA.

[JONBHOY57]

Only wished that the last verse of this song was changed, WHY spare his life when that thought never entered the heads of the brits! Remember bloody sunday. CIRA.

[grigorovich07]

@JONBHOY57 The thing about the last line is showing how we are the better ones. The reason he did not kill the soldier was because he cared for his mother too much and didn't have the heart to kill another man. Shows how much we do not want war but were forced into it. Wouldn't be very fitting him going back and saying to his ma he blew some guys head off, not quite the same message.

[proudgreenyin]

Thig ar latha!!

[iosanaheireann]

when this war for freedom is won.....Unfortunately this war for freedom is not yet won, but in time our people will be one instead of 2 under the starry plough and teh tri-colour of the land of which it belongs instead of the ancient foe...and NO the I.R.A are not terrorists, there have been attrocities by the brits and they deserve worse done to them because youll never EVER beat the I,R,A. So its true about britain YOURE SCUM.

[reyes3277]

My ma & da played songs like this and many others, to me back in 1967, and all through 69 and 72 and then I played them myself thereafter... I watched, and I searched history, and I am so proud. And now, the eyes of the world are on us, and the cheaters hands are tied. God Bless all!

[PhiloAmericana]

God Bless Ireland. FUCK BRITAIN!

[warchildren1]

@PhiloAmericana God is on the side of the best shooter.

[peterduffy1953]

@PhiloAmericana Hang amo mate not all british are english what about us poor souls in Scotland who have tried for years to apart form England,maybe you should re phrase that to : God Bless Ireland & Scotland and Fuck THE ENGLISH??

COMMENTS PLEASE..........

[codiebeth]

God bless her and God save Ireland

[tat2boy1]

i like how mightof the english says people came to his country and did blah blah blah.I'm sorry but what about the times that your people went to Ireland raped and beat women and destoyed lives and property that they had no right to do.....oh that doesnt matter right that england detroyed so much for so many.....now or then it was wrong learn your history before you comment on something that you have only read in a paper....and if you dont like it don't comment on an irish song.....

[SuperJimduffy]

listen you retards, we put the bomb under the band stand because the brits were on top!!! , revenge is a wonderful thing, your soldiers are nothing but murdering bastards take a look at the savile report, up the IRA and the REAL IRA

[polbrannagh]

[codiebeth]

God bless Ireland

[gemgem489]

looove this ireland 1 u should upload more if you have any :) x

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@gemgem489 do you know what its about, with saying you love it ,its about the murder of a british soldier  by a terrorist ,whats to love about that?

[gemgem489]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish erm well the fact that im half scottish half irish its a little part of my history you dare to call these people terrorists whilst the british soldiers where looking down there guns first .please refer to recent illegal wars england is only good for one thing and thats plundering nations and tearing them apart . im not condoning terrorism but it is human nature to defend who you are adrenaline does not have an off swich either what would you do if say a group of muslims

[gemgem489]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish where marching down the street you live with guns and telling you to believe in what they believe and trying to take your vote away you just would not stand for it and for the murder of the british soldier goes its nothing on the hundreads that died during famine and then the selfless people who died during hunger strike its a war england started and im sure the paddys will finish :) alba,eire go bragh

[gemgem489]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish and in memory to you mama his life i spared no one died here people :)

[shteamroller]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish when you go to another mans country with your guns

such as the british soldiers, its fair game that you will get shot by a local soldier

never mind the funny sounding expression of "terrorist"...britian creates terror..

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@shteamroller well as far as the world views , and as far as the republic of ireland is concerned , and through several peace treaties, the north of ireland is still part of the united kingdom,and everyone who were born there ,are british citizens in the eye of the law , so people like gerry adams and co , are wether they like it or not british ,in the eyes of the republic the IRA are an illegal organisation, its not your country until its a united ireland

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@shteamroller all IRA ,INLA, real ,continuity or mickey mouse ira,are not soldiers ,unreconised by all as being such, who do they represent , what country, as you did not reconise the republic government, or the NI government, all the ira were where civilians, who armed themselves to attack their own city centres ,protestant businesses,loyalists policemen,anyone you felt who got in your way, you took no prisoners, followed no international rules of war , in other words they were TERRORISTS

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@shteamroller and if it wasnt for the british army , the death toll of nationalists would of been much higher , we did not create the atmosphere that led to the troubles, that was the unionist government of NI and the system they created,which most of britons would of agreed with you that it was unfair, having gun battles on the streets of any british town, would of resulted in armed security forces moving in, what did you expect, traffic wardens ,blame your terrorist actions for what happend

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@shteamroller and as for shooting soldiers with guns, what happend when you came to my country and put a bomb under a band stand, in a local park, and also those guardsmen in hyde park, or the sleeping trainee medics/bandsmen sleeping in kent, or at inniskillen, or mountbatten, or the m63 bomb, harrods birmingham, droppinwell , fair game hey , cowardly attacks say i, your as free as i am , free vote, free movement,free to do anything you want ,

[codiebeth]

Ireland unfree shall never be at Peace

[yukonnahanni]

beautiful voice , but horrific message !!!

[67jkerr]

Butchers apron has raped and pillaged the world!!

Hail Hail

[ianasone]

Beautiful song and a beautiful voice too. I love the song very much it says alot about the the sincerity of irish people and their struggles against the British

[VOLUNTEERLMURPHY]

Hey Twonks -- How Would You Like To Kiss My Irish Ass.

[bigdex123]

i squeezed the trigger of my armalite oh what a feeling

[xxalankennedyxx]

Love this song !

[Bruff1888]

when the war has been won, then i,ll put awy my gun...- i wonder if mr mcguinness+adams sing this song?? onward to victory

[TheBogland]

When did Adams and his arseholes ever hold a gun. They are only interested in ataining a possition for themseleves.

[bigdex123]

1976 in west belfast what a good year

[Twonks]

If this was a muslim singer from Afghanistan or Iraq singing a similar song about sniping a british soldier you all ( well most) would condemn it. But because It's hip to support Ireland and it's dated cause, it is deemed fair game.

[MsOrlandos]

@Twonks theres bound to be songs like this in afghanistan and iraq or any other country england invaded, the same way the english make no bones baout hating the french or germans, the irish make no apology for hating the british......its our right after all they have done

[Bountykilla82]

@MsOrlandos Oh fuck off you know Twonks is telling the truth

[kbcmighty]

rubbish , theres nobody here supports the brits in Iraq or anywhere else . Cop on to yourself . And theres still Britih soldiers being shot here too .

[RepublicOf32]

@Twonks

Very true, I believe the middle east should be left alone. The only reason people from that part of the world pose a threat to britain is because of britains imperial tendancies.

The day will come when good people who have endured the wrath of the brits will stand together and suppress them once and for all.

Anyone who disagrees with my sentiments is obviously a west brit, however, I welcome your argument.

[RepublicOf32]

@Twonks

I almost forgot! The struggle for Irelands freedom has nothing to do with religion, so I cannot understand the reference to people of the Islamic faith.

All they want is for their countries to be free from imperialism, much like us.

[TheAlco]

Oh mama, Oh mama comfort me.... For I know these awful things have got to be... And when the war of Freedom has been won, I promise you, I'll put away my gun!!

[IrishHorror]

UNITED 32!! it will be acheived....

[brendat14559]

I like the other version of this song better by the man..can't think of his name.

[spiritswillfly]

Re: jumpinjackflash102 , not guite sure of what you speak, I quess I could make you right with my Armalite...... I do believe a lot of our comunity would disagree with your opinion, but we do live in a free society here in The USA and for those don't hopefully one day you will and until then there is the internet. So express yourself freely and give credit for those who have fought for freedom before you and remember the price of freedom even if you did not spend to achieve it.

[jumpinjackflash102]

Please try and put your thoughts in more clear English please, or get an education. This is about terrorists, thought you yanks were against that sort of thing since 9/11.

[jumpinjackflash102]

Lyrics not quite shakespeare lol. Rhyming sight with armalite. How tacky can one song be.

[fluffyrude]

go fuck yourself this song is forty years old

[jumpinjackflash102]

And what difference does that make buddy? Did they speak differently back those whole forty years ago?

[slimyhands]

Another Bitter deluded Hun.

[markbotv3]

well its a far sight better than ryming "sent him to heaven with an ak-47"

[jumpinjackflash102]

Lol. Good answer. Fair play.

[purplemeadows]

While on a vacation,enjoying the music, I fell in love with the music of Mary Black, I think all of us Americans of Irish descent Conceive ourselves as all Irish. I mention this because of the Irish friend/ I was with stated to me that what kind of name is Largey, I wish I had this recording to educate him as I have now have been enlightened. What a voice and now I know/enjoy what my father was listening to back in the 70's thanks for posting these treasures. Daniel Largey of Massachusetts USA

[theboyfromhere]

This song is based on the true story of the late great Brendan Hughes, who had a young soldier at gunpoint, who then cried for his mother as he stared death in the face..Brendan let him live....God rest you Brendan....God rest you Kathleen...

[pilninggas]

[wbtrex08]

the irish deserve to be free and green im in the u.s. but i believe they should be free

[PHenry500]

We in the US deserve to be free too.

[omfg4000]

Hardly, judging by the people you elect and the thigns you do outside your country.

You don't care about each other, a baby has a higher chance of surviving in Nicaragua than in Detroit.

Why should your politicians care about you?

[wbtrex08]

[lreland1]

I can tell ;-). Thanks for the comment mo chara.

[Cluzio]

The original version is by far the best and its not by kathleen largey,she has a great voice but she does no justice to this song,but then what would you people know?

[sniper500x]

You need your ears checked mate and show this great lady respect, no justice thats a fucking insult.

[Cluzio]

No its not an insult at all,i have a lot of kathleen largeys stuff,and im telling you that this is poor compared to her other songs,i would never insult kathleen she was a great republican who never forgot her ideals,unlike these sellout merchants today.

[sniper500x]

Fair one, but I am sure Ireland1 has explained in his response to you, the reason why this song may not be at it's best take care mo chara.

She was indeed a True Republican.

[lreland1]

Why do you say that? Who sang the original? I personally think she does this song great justice, considering she was dying of cancer during the recording of this album.

[arebee0304]

I never heard of her before to my great loss. What a lovely voice and so sad that she has passed. thanks for posting it up.

[Tasha4Lyf]

An amazing voice and an amazing woman God bless her and keep her in his care

[Clemetsson]

By far the best version of this song that has ever been recorded, imho.

Thanks for uploading many wonderful songs, Ireland1.

[Joe40oz]

Been looking for this, thanks mate!

[machree01]

Kathleen! a great singer, she is sadly missed, but her voice will live-on in songs like this one. Thanks for posting it.

[incaalpaca]

it amazes me how we have accepted the present situation in Ireland and I guess complacency has set in too because of the global war on terror. It is a pity that Ireland has to take a back seat as a result of this. 8 years to go for the centenary celebration of 1916! Oh for a United Ireland

[ilovemaniototo]

Lovely. Carol x

[DCP200]

She had an amazing voice. I have never heard her singing this one before. excellent

[Ismaithsin]

Kathleen at her best. We still miss her and her beautiful voice. ( Tony, The Flying Column). Thanks to Ireland 1 for putting it on.

[Ismaithsin]

[dom6767]

I remember Tony, also Benny and Paul along with Eamon and Kathleen at the Strand Hotel Omeath every Sunday.

[Ismaithsin]

What great nights we had there! We loved playing at the Strand but then the people were brilliant coming on the bus runs from all parts of Belfast. The atmosphere was out of this world and it was the people who made the show. Great memories of Largeys hotel. ( Tony, The Flying Column.)

[desibear51]

So how come you don't remember Desi? The guitar player.

Desi

[Ismaithsin]

You're right, Dessie did play with the group in the early days as did Gerry who played for a short time. Not forgetting Barney who played bass guitar on the Four Green Fields album.
