one of the best folk songs ever written or sung, not just one of the best irish folk songs written, one of the best folk songs written or sung period.

At an RSL club in Auckland, NZ in late 1983, as a visiting Brit I was asked to get up on stage and sing a song, something I'd never done before. I'd learned this song years earlier, having bought a Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem album called 'The boys won't leave the girls alone' in 1970 and so belted it out. I got a great round of applause, but it wasn't for my singing, which was distinctly average, it was for the quality of the music. Weren't these lads just the best?

Tommy you were the greatest.
By chance I got to meet you and shake your hand when I was a young lad.
RIP - thanks for the music and memories.

it was before the clancy brothers and tommy makem broke up i think, if its any help
-
more then likely I would tend to think it would be after he bought his banjo, which would mean it would have to be before he linked up with liam clancy which would be before 1950 I think, so he probably wrote in in the 60's or 70's because he did travel extensivly in Ireland even after immigrating to the US. But just as referance point it wouldnt be before about 1955
