idiot, really its about Salford Manchester written by an English folk singer who's parents were Scottish. Its about as Irish as a Nigerian folksong!!!

@Paradocksx song written by a scotsman in manchester england lol

Ewan MacColl was not Irish. He was Scottish.
There's all sorts of good versions of this song, I see no reason to choose one over any other. His songs were written to be sung...so it's all good...so many good songs he wrote. The First Time Ever I saw Your face? What a love song..one of his, written for Peggy Seeger... Shoals o Herring.. great stuff. Nice version Rod.

Really nice version,, Rod never fail

This song is about Salford. Rod's version is "smelled the smoke on the Salford wind" where Ewan MacColl's is "smelled the spring on the smoky wind". Ewan was pressured to change the lyrics from Salford, but anyone who knew Salford would prefer the "Salford Wind" line. Thye song is about any factory town...Salford, Manchester, Birmingham or Hamilton (my home town but me mom's from Newton Heath)

@lsynno Excepting if anything it is the other way round. Stewart recorded the song years before anyone ever heard of the Pogues!

Sorry Guys ... I'm a Frenchie girl :x BUT the best is the original with all the feelings from an Irishman !
I love you Irish people : you are the proudest people I know !
I never forget this song and the horror of the Bloody days you had to suffer ...
