Only The Corries could have taken such a universally known song, and one sung by millions of schoolchildren around the world and made it sound so utterly original. Wonderful stuff.

Guess what? It still sounds like "I'll eat you all." Just like it did all those years ago. One of my very first favorite videos from all those years ago when KZread was nearly new. Old times. ^____^ The Corries forever after. ♥

Imagining a Godzilla-sized Scottish Jesus stomping around a 1st century provincial Roman town joyously threatening to eat everyone, no matter their identity.

I like how they perform not on a platform but on the same ground as the audience. It gives a feeling of closeness, like the bards of old by the fireplace.

Answer to all 3; small venue. I think they played small venues from start as all musicians do and continued to play stages right through. We were at Paisley Town Hall for one of their last concerts before Roy had his brain surgery and have seen Ronnie perform solo on stage at the Glasgow Concert Hall years after.

And shows how they think of themselves no greater or more powerful than the people they play for. They actually have respect for the people they play for, believe it or not. These things are very rarely seen in today’s “musicians” or celebrities. Quite egotistical these pop folk now.

terrific musicians, brilliant voices, thanks for the lovely music. r.i.p. roy and god bless ronnie

I had this as one of my hymns when I got married earlier this year, and you could hear the feet tapping above the singing, it was amazing

Not when, as a child, it sounds like "eat you all"!

Roy does so well in this all eyes are on Ronnie and his huge bodhran but roys interchange between flute and vocals are really good

2 of the very best voices in Folk Music EVER...!!

Man back when I used to go to church this was my absolute favourite hymn

I was first here at this very same video a very long time ago. And I think this might have been the first Corries video I ever saw. I just barely knew who they were then. ^___^ One of their biggest fans now. ^____^ Love these guys. So sorry Roy died before I ever knew of him. Hello to anyone else who is still/again here from back then.

The Corries version of this childhood hymn is unquestionably the best ever done. Stripped down to the fundamental story of Jesus's life but without the trappings of churchiness, Sydney Carter's words strike a chord with the basic essence of humanity, whatever belief background you come from: The Corries hit the nail on the head with this punchy but melodic rendition. Fab!

@@theophileburtz1624 Fair comment, that's good too. The tune was an American Shaker hymn originally, called Simple Gifts, but it was played much slower and more like a dirge. Whichever way it is taken, it's a great tune and song. Love and peace.

Just watching this during a period of reflection this Easter time. I am fortunate to be at home with my wife and daughters during this lock-down, but this song should give everyone, everywhere a message of hope and optimism for the future.

This is brilliant! This is one of my favorite hymns - it's so fun to hear a folksy version of it :)

One of my favourite songs even better when it is sung by the Corries.

Very talented guys. Brilliant performers.

Remember when this was a staple of every Sunday School session, this and 'Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam'.....time for another glass of wine, to smother the memories...

i love the corries was brought up listening to them and i still listen to them there music is top class

My grandpa always used to play this song. Now he mostly plays Sinatra.

I forgot all about this song,as a kid we used to sing it at Sunday school(Chalmers church of Scotland, Uddingston) at Easter, we all used to go crazy because its such an upbeat tune

brillant singers makes u proud too be scottish

Such talent is rare but Roy and Ronnie had it in bucket loads! Ronnies bodhran is almost bigger than he is but my god he can make it sing.

had this song stuck in my head all day!

go ronnie and roy u sing like u own the song beautifully sung once again makes me proud tae be scottish listening to yous

Have a blessed Easter, everybody!

I love these two singing this song.

Best Hymn ever written

very catchy arrangement. love this song. it's so simple but so complex.

You are not missing anything. It certainly is a hymm about the Life of Jesus Christ

Cannot hear this one without thinking of Yule. A very pretty Christmas tune. And classic.

Never be forgotten

"and ye shall become as gods..........of the dance"

NO1 CAN MAKE ANYTHING MORE ORIGINAL THAN THE CORRIES!!!

@joelhowells I know exactly what you mean. I used to have to sing this in middle school choir in assembly and was not a fan back then, and when I decided to lo longer be christian (at the age of twelve) I thought I'd heard the last of it but then I heard this aged 14 and I loved every second of it and still do!

we had to sing this every week assembly in primary school x our assembly was a thursday
