My father would whistle this on the once-a-year weekend that he'd take me to Big Bend National Park. My favorite of the Irish Rovers. Saw them once in Houston and half of the audience were clergy. Gotta love it.

Oh how I do love this song, since I first heard this version back in the day. It became my favorite song from their album and through all the years I still remember all the words... so beautiful and sad.

this is a magic song

When I was little, I would beg my grandma to put this record on. We wore out at least ten copies, and probably just as many tapes. The entire album is incredible, but this song, wow...
As it ends, the silence after the song finally cuts out just seems deafening, like you didn't realize how much you were feeling it, until it's over. For me, anyway...
Scots-Irish-Native American ancestry here, it's amazing how many of my friends start out thinking this music is stupid, and end up loving it.

This song's always spoken to me. I'm down from the Scots, not the Irish, but the story's the same. My ancestors' love was murdered by redskins, in the Ohio valley, in the days before the gold rush. I'm proud to say that he more than evened the score.Never fuck with a Celt! We don't forget!
Holy god same story for me, My father and grand dad listened to this song and one day i listened to it alone and just was so sad at the words.
I still cry a tear for it I am a big baby girl i guess. It is odd to tell some americans that you are Irish American but it is how i was raised proud of my blood. I truely love this song.
I still have my record of this song.
Your little comment made me smile and best of Irish love to you.
