@malachy1847 Ho yes I know. But Bobby never recorded FAREWELL , why ? I don't know, and you ? Nothing about that in "no direction home, the live and music of Bob Dylan" by Robert Shelton. 1985. For "the patriot game" a strong struggle with Dominic Behan.
-
@fanchbrezoneg.... Dylan also used Irish Folk Song..."The Patriot Game" for the melody for "With god on our side".. in his youth he hung out with Tommy and the lads in "The White Horse Tavern " in Greenwich...... those must have been some nights....
-
Beautiful!
-
this melody has been rewritten by Bob Dylan for his song FAREWELL (1963) performed by the Kingston Trio, Anita Carter and Judy Collins.
Tommy Makem as I remember him over the past forty odd years, BRILLIANT
