my mother and father are buried up in the mournes. the old man used to sing this. always makes me think of them and the great parents they were. billy the boy from the hook and ankle and kit gal the girl from cloyne-the capital of hurling and the clash of the ash. many thanks for this.

@birdstuckinchimney Might I suggest you look towards the Democratic Right Movement in Ireland - there is no point in harking back to the famine years. This is now and Ireland is living the 3rd world immigration. Check the DRM You Tube reports.

A song of longing for home....and we ALL know all about that, don't we...a beautiful Irish song, and a great version by American Don McLean.

All this nationalist bickering is so sad. My dad used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was a baby. I sang this to my girlfriend when she was upset. I plan to sing this to my own children as a lullaby some day.
Is there any more you can ask from a piece of music?

Such pathos, anyone missing home would identify with this, regardless of nationality or geography. He's such a fab singer- could listen all day.
Oh, and theres no such thing as a Scotchman- I am a Scot, scotch is a drink :O)

@keithhennessy75 So you served in the RAF, what is this this , a pissing contest? We know the song is about Ireland, this version by a 'yank'. That's what this was all about, someone who didn't like the fact that an American was singing a song about his beloved Ireland. So I just put it to the general listening public that you can relate to this song if you are far from home. The voice, delivery, all transport you to where you would want to be. I can relate to 'Honey', wife didn't have to die.
