  • @neotenousape

    Thank you for info. Much appreciated.

    Corrie.

  • @pilgerman This version is slightly too slow, but McLean himself recorded better versions of this song.

  • @Corrie121 It is indeed by Percy French, who wrote many sentimental and funny Irish songs despite holding down a day job. He was from Co. Roscommon and lived most of his life in Co. Cavan. Although this was written from the PoV of an Irish immigrant to England, French lived his whole life in Ireland.

  • An Idiot has called this classic a `Mournful Grind`

  • @Corrie121 It's beautiful isn't it? I think however the melody is at least 200 years old; it has that ancient folk feel to it. Very sad.

  • Maybe it's just that it's above you.

  • What a dirge this is. This mournful grind is really beneath him.

  • I think this song was composed by Percy French, but whoever did so has gifted us with a lovely melody.

  • I love his recorded version of this great song, so soulful and emotional, so it was great to see this performance, thanks for posting. You don't have to be Irish either, I,m Welsh, and it conjures up a feeling of 'hiraeth', a longing for home.

  • I did.

    Well, me and millions of others! :D
