Before my Grandmother died, I asked her did she know much about what had become of our ancestors in the time of the famine.
She said some of them died here in Ireland. She said some of them went away across the Atlantic on boats. Some of them died on those boats. But some made it to USA. But no one knows how they got on there.
This song reminds me to remember all of this. And share it.
Great lyrics.

The video I saw of Ronnie Drew singing this song without music has been taken down. As good as this one is, Ronnie didn't need the extras, his magnificent voice and presentation were more than enough.
May God smile on ye, Mr Drew. You made my life the better for hearing your music these twenty years and more.
