@lcat20003 No, Louis starts off the song with the first verse, "come on John", then Liam Clancy, "Come on then Jim" and Finally Paddy Clancy with "Come on now Di",

but the final verse, they all sing and you can hear Tom's big voice booming out! Which adds to it, my fave version of the song!

This is Lou Killen singing, not Tom. I'm sure of it :). Great song, I agree!

Brilliant post, I love this song, and live it is just as good,

Clear recording and I love the end verse with Tom's voice just booming out! Fantastic.
