  • @Vampirebear13 Thanks, I was able to find that one. That version is great as well.

  • @brianpage100 If you want to hear a truely haunting+powerful version of this song,check out The Chieftains w/Van Morrison on the album "Irish Heartbeat". I love that album so much I own it on record,tape,CD+then bought it again on re-mastered CD. There's not a bad moment on the entire album.

  • @801Current Buy 'What We Did on Our Holidays' on vinyl :0) The crackling = good, and you have to turn it over after 'I'll Keep It With Mine'...

  • reminds me of jefferson airplane.

  • The most powerful version of this song that I've heard.

  • @xtenkfarpl I agree. When I said he would 'do his self in", I meant he might be follow her in death, kill himself, so they would then be able to have "their wedding day" in death. I Like the 3rd verse, as you do. I think it imparts a more dire scenario for the two of them. In many of the traditional Appalachian songs & Celtic songs frustrated young lovers often kill themselves if they can't get married. That is why I don't know why this important verse is often left out.Thanks for the reply.

  • @MyMoppet52 I think the implication is clear that "our wedding day" does not take place on this Earth... it's... somewhere else...

  • @xtenkfarpl I have wondered that also. The song takes a different meaning without that verse. Perhaps it did bother her father that he had no "kind"...money. Perhaps she was 'with child'. I've heard one version by a man that I've not been able to find. It gave me chills. He was so sad on the last verse. He commented, "his dead love came to him." I could just see her coming as a ghost to haunt him & it sounded like he was going to do himself in since "it wouldn't be long to our wedding day."

  • @MrBirder1 but I like this version

  • @801Current  Joe Brown does an excellent version of this song which can be found on itunes
