This song is the first cover that i'v done in a while now. It was written and originally performed by Van Morrison. It was later covered by the Waterboys and featured on their 1989 album "Fisherman's Blues" which is an amazing album. Jeff Buckley also covered this. In my opinion the Waterboys is the best version. I also left out like 2 lines in the last verse but its barely noticable. Hope you all like. Leave comments and rate...
I'm a purist, yet I really liked your version and added to my favorites.

Van Morrison's was nice.
It's great to hear people covering great music, it really keeps it alive. You did a real great job hear.
But the trick is not covering a great song greatly, but rather, creating your own song that will be kept alive by millions of fans. That's the real task.

Great Cover - I have numerous versions saved - I do love Mike Scotts cover best of all. Nice Voice. Well Done.

I ignored this video earlier when i was making a play list of the W. Boys because it was a cover version or so i thought, I must have put it in accidentally and i never even notice it was a cover until i start reading the comments when the song was just over. So what can i say, you obviously done a first class job because you had me fooled. you have a v.good voice keep it up

I must say that is a very nice cover. I hadn't heard from the Waterboys before but I am well familiar with the original and Buckley's cover. Your guitar play and voice are good, but on the very high parts it seems a little bit like straining. 4 stars, would have been 4.5 if that were possible. Keep it up :).
