I was fortunate enough to attend Austin City Limits “songwriter’s circle” featuring Emmylou Harris, Patti Griffin, Bud and Julie Miller, Dave Matthews, and a brief appearance by Mary Black. What an amazing night!

This so g adapts beautifully to Irish instrumentation
Two legends amazing voices just beautiful 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
One of my absolute favourite songs of all time. Of any genre. When you consider the death rate and poverty at the time Foster wrote this song it takes on a profoundly more moving impact. It’s no coincidence that this “sounds Irish”- Foster’s heritage (and musical heritage) was from Ulster.

I first heard this on the TV program Bringing It All Back Home. They performed it in New York with Afro-American musicians. It blew me away!
Two wonderful singers Delores keane an mary black
Well done guys! You have the correct harmony for the word "weary", most performances miss it.
what glorious voices ! a wonderful arrangement of the SC Foster classic
Oh Mary...what a voice!
Absolute classic..
Harmony that can only come from Heaven
Powerful performance. Learn the words. It's a sigh that is wafted across the trouble waves. It's a wail that's heard upon the shore.
Use to listen to this song in the 90's glad to have found it again
With the sublime help of God
"""Beautiful Lyrics. This awful feeling the hard times are back and started to linger around my cabin door . Only God can save IRELAND now. Thank you CR'S---V.V. Have a Blessed Sunday .🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I know what you're saying but it's not just Ireland that God can save now. I've spent most of my life away from Ireland and I can assure you that the whole of Western Civilization is in trouble.Thank God for songs and singers like Mary Black and Delores Keane ,they make life a little better when I listen to them.There is also a KZread video with both of them singing with Emmy Lou Harris,if you haven't watched it before you should because I think you'd love it ! All the best to you from the USA 💚✝️
Makes me imagine what it may have been Like when Irish immigrants settled in Appalachia. Love both Ladies & what they contributed to music.
Great irish voices 👍
The quieter Dolores sings, the more I can hear her.
wow, Mary Black was really gorgeous.
Two Brilliant singers
Beautiful rendition of the old song. Thanks for posting this! Love it, from Tennessee, USA!

It is indeed a beautiful version. I actually like most versions out there, including one by the late Tom Roush, who sang many of Stephen Foster’s songs so well. RIP Tom.
One of my favorite De Dannan songs by 2 of my favorite singers. If anyone didnt know Frankie Gavin is suffering from throat cancer, there's a crowdfund appeal going to raise money for a special op.
Two legends amazing voices so wonderful well done ❤❤
Very nice, girls. I was born and grew up in Pittsburgh, as Stephen Foster did. In grade school, the 1950's, our music teacher, Miss Frank loved Foster and played his songs on the piano. We would sing along. Foster was very special.
So powerful. Fantastic.
The late Eighties and early Nineties-when Mary Black was at the very peak of physical beauty. I’m still spellbound by her looks then. Those eyes! I realize this isn’t related to music, but hey, I’m human. But yes, both singers are spectacular.

Can relate to that iwas born 1960 ,80to90 young and wild
They're both tremendous Singers&this was a good version...But the first time I heard this was on a 'Live Radio' 'The Prairie Home companion's(A show which would perform in Minneapolis one week&in another State the following week) and this they were NYC and the brilliant Soprano Renee Fleming sang it& it was Breathtaking!
Wonderful!
🎉 Thank you, you have made my day 😍🤗🤗
The definitive versions of this classic are both the album and "live" recordings of Mary, Dolores and DeDanannn, as illustrated here.
De Danann at their best 👏
Love Dolores only

Have to agree. Trying to outsing Dolores!
I think 'Catherine' Lavelle should read Caroline, very well-known cellist who worked with Mary on the No Frontiers album and later with the Indigo Girls on their 2000 tour.
Dolores just singing the song....
La voce di Dolores è quella più simile a quella di Sandy, e per questo l’amo più delle altre

Beautiful rendition listen to Dolores singing Lily Marlene
Voices are a bit harsh. Must be my speakers. Thumbs up!
This is a lovely Irish ballad dedicated to those men who suffer from erectile disfunction.
Beautiful solos. Harmonies are pretty rough.
I wish Mary Black stayed out of this one .

Yep I thought the same, Dolores sings it effortlessly. what a singer
Prefer the version sung by Tommy Fleming
Very first verse she lost Foster's lyrics. LORD I would like to hear someone sing the song as written by Foster/. It is not that hard...You can Google the lyrics you know. Another crap version...sadly by otherwise good musicians.
Mary is like a cat crying she cannot sing.
dire
must be painful to sing
