  • beatiful lyrics, I think Joan Baez has a better performance though

  • I saw Diana perform this song in The White Church, Comrie prior to her Celtic Connections appearance in 2008. One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs ever.

  • What a sad, but beautiful love song. Goes straight to the heart, greetings from an Irish musician.

  • Excellent song written and sung by Diana Jones.She was asked to write a song about a Scotsman Henry Russell who emigrated to West Virginia but sadly died in a mining disaster in 1927. She was asked to write the song to raise funds for a permanent memorial site. She struggled for inspiration until hearing Henry's story and reading his final,heart-rending messages to his beloved wife Mary and his children. He lay dying but managed to write her a message using coal and a scrap of paper. RIP Henry.

  • Heard this song on BBC Radio 2 over 2 months ago whilst i was driving going to work. Had to pull over and sit back in the car totally mesmerised by this womans voice.There have been many great female vocalists over the years;Diana Jones is certainly right up there with the very best,but not all that many people know who she is which is a great shame.

  • It's called Henry Russell's Last Words

  • Just heard Diana sing this on the BBC program from the Barbican in London on 21st January 2009. Absolutely brilliant!
