Love this song p reilly legend

@CEEWorldwide In the last verse he hears the cock crowing and wakes up and remembers he's an old man in California, not a young man in Ireland. Very sad. Ride On. I'm not sure anyone knows what it's about, but a good song. It was written by JIMMY McCARTHY, (give the man some credit), so maybe he could enlighten you.

I saw Paddy perform 3 times and count them as highlights of my entire life. His voice is spectacular. I also met him and got a kiss on the cheek :)

The song Spancil Hill is about an irishman who goes seeking his fortune in the California goldrush, and who in his dreams remembers his life in Ireland. Ride On is a song by another Irish balladeer called Christy Moore. Ride On is a song that can invoke different veiws in different people, lost love, the passing of a loved one, it is a song that is haunting in melody and lyrics.

Mel Gibson in the simpsons looks like him

@Ravbo1 Have to agree, Jim McCann can't be beaten at Spancil Hill but Paddy runs him a close second. Both guys give their all when singing.

I spent many a night listening to Paddy at the Century club in Falmouth , Mass. He is the master of the Irish ballad. His many songs express themes from the plight of migrant workers to unrequited love. All beautifully done. I hope someone has made him as happy as he has made we who listen
