One of the sweetest and saddest songs ever. Poor Joseph and Grace

my dad recently told me the events that inspired this song and it was the most beautiful story. it really shows how much they loved each other that they married on his death bed and that Grace never remarried. she was a widow the rest of her life. so sad, but beautiful

I love listening to this song after a 1.75 of Powers Whiskey , a little crack and some black tar. what a great craic !

Brilliant singing about this very sad true story of Grace Gifford and J M Plunkett, so very tragic !

brings a tear to the eye.we will always be the fighting irish.

Everytime I hear him sing this song, I can see it as if it were happening right in front of me. Only Padd has that affect. hat a wonderful musician he is.

Paddy is a wonderful balladier .

It was so agonising for Grace Gifford, I stood in Kilmainham Jail when on holiday in Dublin and it was so moving, I was also able to place flowers on The Plunkett grave at Glasnevin. Paddy Reilly is so gifted that he makes a song live and speak to all who listen !

A wonderful song, sung by our own Paddy Reilly. To visit Kilmainham is to be transported back in time to a lonely but heroic place. Heaven United them in time

a classic Irish ballad...beautiful

Beautiful Song and music from paddy Reilly Grace CON Horan Newbridge Kildare

Every time I hear Paddy sing this I feel like I am there. What a terrible beauty of a song. His voice is incomparable. I have researched Kilmainen and wuld like to visit there before they find a reason to tear it down.

Beautiful, and beautifully sung as usual by Paddy Reilly, the master balladeer !

Joe Coffey How sad,how wonderful and brave proud to be Irish.

Love hearing The Celts sing this.

seen him live a truly distinctive voice

I love Irish ☘️ cause I’m also Irish ☘️

The master sings.

One of the greatest love stories of all time.

mary Dewan totally agree

reminds me of my wife's aunty Sinead, what a lovely lovely lady

Beautiful song! My dad used to sing this

how can any person on this earth dislike this or any paddy reilly songs.disgraceful.

Such a beautiful romantic Irish ballad

One of the most moving folk/love songs I have ever heard. Very emotional, and a great example of the horrible happenings of war.... Very sad. Grace was also a remarkable woman.

Wonderful singing by the great Paddy Reilly !

There is no reason to hate the Brits in order to love this wonderful song! My beloved wife... the Mother of our 3 fine Sons... is a proud "Brit" and I wil love her to the end of my days!

The futility of power and might, only peace and coexistence is our importance

the barley corn nothing beats it.

Great version of Grace 💚🤍🧡🇮🇪

Beautiful song!!

The best version of this song that i have ever heard.Fantastic Paddy

Love this, so beautiful by the master balladeer himself !

I am hoping that someday I will be able to make the trip to Kilmainen. I am waiting on back procedure. I am 74 and my back is a mess. If I never make it, I still feel as though I was there. Of course the real thing woul be so much better, I live in the middle of the U.S. I used to have a downloaded picture taken by a tourist of Kilmainent's interior befre my computer crashed. .

Grace hurried into Dublin to buy an expensive wedding ring, then they got married the evening before his execution, they had 2 prison guards as witnesses and twenty soldiers, bayonets drawn for the ceremony.

great joy... thank you for posting!

+Dylan Lewis I am SO glad I read your comment. Jim McCann's singing on this is astounding. I can't stop playing it over and over. And it has caused me to look up a bit of history about the Rising etc. Very tragic time. Thanks from Montana :)

@megaronron1 just listen to Jim McCanns version - and you will understand why

@Ravbo1 McCann's version or not, does not make this bad, ffs

McCann couldn't lace this man's BOOTS

With all my love I place the sweating ring upon your finger. Sorry....

@Ravbo1 McCann's version doesn't mean this is a *bad* version, ffs
