Great! This song contains what must rate amongst the greatest "pick-up "lines ever---- If it wasn't for the alligators, I'd sleep out in the wood!!

Sublime's the word.

this is such a beautiful song and he is a lethal singer

Who doesn't get a chill when the whistles come in around 2:30? Just lovely.

Never gets old. His voice has gotten even more timeless (which doesn't even seem possible listening to earlier recordings)
-
goosebumps,wow

Christy Moore sings a shortened version of it.
-
@compaverick Not necessary. Have you ever listened to Labgraal's version? I don't know if it's on youtube... if not, I will upload it soon...

one of the loveliest sounds I know of is Paul Brady's voice.

Is it just me, or has this man got better with age. Amazing!

@eimearmurnane - Naw, Sorry I think "The Lakes" is better sang by males... Women sing The green fields of Canada better
