I don't think I've ever missed anything as much as I miss the Clancy boys & dear Tommy Makem. It's so hard to listen to them these days without crying for missing them.

R I P Tommy Makem One of the greatest Irish ballads of all time..

Fantastic ballad & one that bites deep into the heart of every Irish person worth their salt.

This song deserves a lot more fame

Tommy Makem sang with such emotion, one could not.help but be moved by it!

They deserve every 'bravo!' ... indeed. Love and thanks so very much for the memories.

SO beautiful

i lived in milwaukee and alays went to irist fest its the best in the usa and i got to see tommy maken live many times and got his autograph on the program miss you tommy and the clancys

Amazing to see the pain in his eyes: living every moment of the emotions of the old lady in the song.

The Armagh Bard of our own time..God rest ye peaceful, Tommy !

Absolutely clare! Wonderful song - one of the best!

My god I was 6 years old I wish I had been old enough to see this just wonderful. thanks so much for sharing.

A classic by the master

Still waiting for that spring to come

the old woman is ireland, the four green fields are the provinces, the field in bondage is ulster.great song and lyrics!

I want to cry
