As an Orangeman  i still loved to hear Tommy and the Clancy,s singing wither it be a good Irish song or a rebel song it's their heritage but Tommy will be missed he was the best.

I'm not suprised you like that stuff. I know quite a few Orangemen and band members, both yong and old who absolutely love Irish music, be it trad, folk or even rebel. Thanks for the comment.

Strong song, strong heart,

strong love a passing not...

Tommy rides the sweet spring winds'

over the the green meadows high

and he's there in the lover's sigh

through the sorrows and the joys' -

isn't it grand boys

[LonghairedGreg]

I miss my grandfather. we played this song at his funeral and he picked it out. I love him. IRELAND FOREVER. this song still makes me cry

Like most Irish people in the 60's I was brought up with Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers singing all the songs that folks have posted here. I had the pleasure of see Tommy perform live in Co Armagh oh **years ago and his manner of singing and memory will live on."GOOD NIGHT and JOY BE WITH YOU ALL"

By God this is the VERY BEST version of this ballad. I'd fight you if you disagreed.

[xicanabolshevik]

Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,

They're sorry for my going away,

And all the sweethearts e'er I had,

They'd wish me one more day to stay,

But since it falls unto my lot,

That I should rise and you should not,

I gently rise and softly call,

Good night and joy be with you all.

[xicanabolshevik]

If I had money enough to spend, And leisure time to sit awhile,

There is a fair maid in this town, That sorely has my heart beguiled.

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has my heart in thrall,

So fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all.

[xicanabolshevik]

Of all the money e'er I spend, I spent it in good company.

And all the harm that I ever did,Alas! it was to none but me.

And all I've done for want of wit To mem'ry now I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all
