@SiStABB1 Christy took this song and changed around the lyrics to make it more heart filled and emotional, he does this with all of his cover, its what makes him so brilliant
-
I have happy memories of my Da singing this to me as a kid on his acoustic guitar..i don't think i ever appreciated just how beautiful and sad a song it is. Even as a young lad though i knew i would always love this song and that it would remind me of my Father -a great man. Love you Da

Can't believe the comment by Poopoo2u about drink and drugs not doing you harm!! To quote MacEnroe "You can not be serious man!! Shane McG, Ozzie, Steve Earl lovely strong men in their prime oozing with talent reduced to shambling incoherent wrecks - seedy and old before their time.What a waste to man and womankind.
Like this version also like one by Mary Black and Emmylou Harris.

Everyone sings this too me. I wouldnt care if they actually knew more words than "Sonny dont go away".

RONG RONG RONG !!!!!!! It goes Sonny Lives On A Farm in wide open space you can kick off your sneakers and give up the race you can lay yourself down by a sweet river bed sonny always remembers what it was his mama said . I think i would know my papa was a famous country singer and he song that song to me everynight when i was little and it was originol valdee !!
-
my mum used to sing us to sleep with this
and my brother sang it for his J.C.

@WhoStoleMyGimmick: booze and drugs aren't necessarily bad, look what they did for shane macgowan and ozzy!
-
@takman1986 I totally disagree Christy Moore's version is the best version!!! And its not at all boring, its supposed to be a sad song!!!
-
This version is just extremely boring. I would much rather hear Ron Hynes or just about anyone else perform it.
-
@h8erman Hynes is a great songwriter, but his vocals are highly overrated, so on that I agree. Maybe if he laid off the booze and drugs in his younger years he would have been a better singer.
