I am 54 years old now. Live here in Germany and heard this song for the 1st. time on British Radio 30 years ago. This is the best song i have ever heard in my Life !!!

[hermitagegreen]

they could never have known that 35 years later we'd still be sitting here loving this

[eretic57]

this was 40 years ago and we're enjoying this

40 years ago, people could not enjoy what their ancients did 40 years before ...

how many treasures like this from "baladins" and singers have been lost in time !

(.heuumm .. uderstandable ? )

Imagine being able to be in such control of a musical instrument AND a voice from heaven like this: No, I can't either!

I believe it was only fact that this would become a classic - but who the hell are the 19 gobshits tho

Vergelijk dit nummer met 'Lily of the west' van Marc knopler op 'the Black Veil' (Chieftains)

I've been searching for this recording on the web for quite a while now, glad to have found it! Good listening for sure.

"she had got a lover". The tabs and lyrics are on his web site.

I sure knew in '76 that I would always be playing this on my guitar. and "Arthur McBride" as well. Took hours to lift and drop the needle to get the lyrics and hours more to learn it by ear. I only had his photo and have never seen him play until I found him here with 400,000 views on Youtube!

Don't say that, we now have the opportunity to hear the great music of every generation.

beautiful I feel I was born too late. I seem to have missed out on all the best music :(

[martinplaysmartin]

I am so fascinated, this is probably the best version I ever heard!
