This is the very very short version. Its a shame because he has the atmosphere and spirit to pull this song off.

He's so cute with his bushy eyebrows and his bounciness :)
Love this song!
-
love seeing whistle parts played on an early 80's synthesizer
-
A great singer!
His earlier recordings do him little justice due to such poor arranging and production. Maybe someone who understands modern production can remaster these recordings and perhaps even totally rearrange new tracts around his outstanding singing.

Awesome!

Alright! who are these 2 people!

@mikesamwild, your comment made me laugh out loud!
I love this song. I think The Dubliners' version is a bit more atmospheric but Johnny Mcevoy's has the merit of clarity. Thanks too to the contributor who posted the lyrics.

@dv122 it leaves a sad reflection on YOUR education dv.. if those are the only words you can use to express yourself



I've wandered North and I've wandered South
Through Stonybatter and Patricks Close
Up and around by the Glouster Diamond
And back by Napper Tandys house
Old age has laid her arms on me
Cold as a fire of ashy coal
But where, oh where, is the lovely lady
Neat and sweet about the sole

I stopped to look but the Watchman passed
He said "Young fellah, now the night is late
Along with ye home or I will rassle* ye
Straight back through the Bridewell gate"
I threw a kiss to the Spanish lady
Hot as a fire of angry coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so sweet about the sole
