I have no idea what you were responding to here.

True. The music is a very old Irish tune. But the words of the song were written by an Englishman in England in 1910. They were added to the tune some time after this date. Fred Weatherly did not know the tune when he wrote the words. I will give credit to any composer of any nationality. Why does this agressive attitude towards the English persist. Give us credit for our artistic achievements as you would expect us to give you credit for yours. I am pleased that the Irish love this song.

very nicely out of synch... Great take on a classic, though.

A beautiful rendition that offers to comfort the heart and ease the soul. While there is pain within the haunting words...let your heart listen and you will find a enduring joy!!

good information, thanks... from a McCABE whose great grandfather came over in the 19th century from Ireland (though originating from Scotland... chased out of the highlands... another story)... anyway... thanks for a glimpse at the song's "most popular" interpretation...

Beautiful....as always..at least the Songs of the Past will help us retain a little of how it was....due to the exceedingly fast changing pace of how each Country and its Citizens once were and are now disappearing.
