If you still have dry eyes while watching this video, you are not listening to the words .
This should be a national anthem
Anytime you are going through a difficult time put this song 🎵 on, and remember how difficult things were for our ancestors, and then come back to your here and now, it won't seem so bad after all. Love this song with all my heart. God bless you Pete for writing it and Paddy for singing it so gracefully. ☘

What a beautiful voice Paddy has nobody sings this song as good as him
No auto tune, gimmicks, or flash - pure talent at its finest.

They say never meet your heroes, but that doesn't apply to Paddy. So gracious, patient, kind, engaging, energetic. I could go on and on.

Im an English man but this song is absolutely fantastic the lyrics show just how bad the ancestors of us all suffered at the hands of the justice system at that time. Beautifully written and sung love it with all of my being God bless and thank you for a fantastic and poignant song
Am here because we just lost to Ireland in the group stages of the Rugby World Cup. Irish fans belted this tune at the stadium and had to search it out. Hope we meet again in the finals 😊
Beautiful song, terrific permormance.
Brilliant performance, what a singer
Best version of a great song
Ive been to Dublin twice . The Irish people are some of the kindest gentlest people you will ever meet Godless them all

What's not to love about this song. We should be able to bottle Paddy's voice to let our grandchildren know what they missed!
A fantastic version of this beautiful song, as vibro2 said "pure talent"
The young Irish need to listen to these songs. Listen to the words.
Paddy had to have had one of the most Angelic Voices for a man on the Planet !! Beautiful all I can say is just ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!!!! Makes my Irish roots proud !
Listened to this and other Irish songs while visiting Ireland and driving around. Best memories ❤❤
What an amazing voice. Gives one chills.
Such a voice you'll not find today.
Great song and nobody can sing it, like Paddy Reilly. So lucky, to have Paddy singing, so many, great songs. Great voice!
This song is about Love and Freedom and how you don't appreciate these things until they're taken away. My life is so richer with the songs of this man and Luke Kelly !
Seine Lieder sind eine Erinnerung an unvergessliche Irlandurlaube. Danke!!!
As an Australian, this song resonates with me. A cruel part of our history.

Beautiful Irish voice and song as a remember during my trips to the South, what is Ireland like now with the European government destroying that beautiful place with immigrants.
Happy Easter Ireland it's a long time from 16th of the Easter horizon😊 I remember, do you remember?!!!

I had a couple of pints with paddy in the liffey bar during intermission from liberty hall 1967 the best ever.
Same kind of gov. In Britain is in now... excellent portrayal of those days...
This is the saddest song ever written
❤️❤️❤️
Isn't it the original version of the song, from 1972 or so by Paddy Reilly, Am I that old?

Technically Eamonn joined The Dubliners after Ciaran Bourke's death, which was in 1988. Luke died in 1984.

That's right, Eamonn had been guesting with The Dubliners for quite a while, but they wouldn't get a permanent fifth member whilst Ciaran was still alive, as they considered it his spot, even though there was no chance he would be able to return. After Ciaran's death, Eamonn got his membership card.
legend love his music unied ireland and parlimant if scotland has it why cant we
The Crown ran my poor ancestors out of their homes. Little do I respect the Brits!
