This is so very, very lovely.

@roadbikegarden You deserve a dedication of your own J. See what i can do. See you soon hopefully :))

[nannerbj]

Back again - I cant just leave this song alone ! 

[kentishbloke]

@nannerbj Despite refusing the chains you have a beautiful spirit and that is all that counts...and to be fair, you ain't that bad looking.....for an Irish bird :))

Well to be honest I dont usually answer comments like this - reason being I dont think there is any reason to be so rude. I myself dont think there is any comparison with Richards version and Christys , Richards is clearly a thousand times better but Christy Moore is much respected and loved here as you should well know. This is to me one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and clearly Christy must have taught alot of it too for him to sing it.

@nannerbj Well said. Probably worth mentioning that Richard Thompson wrote it (supposedly about Anne Briggs) and this is the original version. We all love Christy, and I appreciate his version too, but I prefer Richard's. Musical taste, eh? Boring if we were all the same x

i love to sing along to this, most of the time I start crying before I can finish it though

[NancyDrewe]

I always figured that when people played other people's songs, that they were showing them respect. But who knows what musicians think? I can't play anything but bodhrain (or the triangle lol), bec. my hands are too small. Grrr. Have you given a listen to RT doing Oops, I Did It Again? (You know, the Britney Spears song). He makes a song like that sound excellent. I hear my DH singing it sometimes around the house--gives me a really good laugh.(OT, sorry). Regards to Eire. :)) Nancy

@NancyDrewe Thanks Nancy, glad you both enjoyed it...Tim (kentishbloke)

[NancyDrewe]

@kentishbloke You'll have us crying, as well. lol This is one of our very special songs, as well. His songs can relate to everyone apparently. bec. of his excellent lyrics. Not to mention his guitar skills. ;)) Really nice one. Thanks so much. Crazy celtic women, eh? rofl Peace, man. You totally made my hub's afternoon.

Only for Christy Moore i would never have heard this beautiful song and I love Christy but I have to say Richard puts real meaning into it. Thanks for uploading.  Is love worth the heartache??

[Daycron66]

He wrote this for Anne Briggs.

Oh for heaven's sake. They are both damn good!
