Was my grans funeral song - she passed nov 2020. Miss you gran.

Worked in the central hotel in Donegal Town where the lads used to play quire often. Fantastic memories

Takes me back to good old days when the curtains would be drawn, the lights dimmed and the whole pub would be singing along to songs such as this.

Love it, we need to bring it back! ❤️

A pint listening to the ballad's singing along absolutely brilliant

Travellers were troubadours. Closest to tradition and music. Took longer to lose their roots than other peoples. We’re tormented to be and live and think like everyone else. The Gypsies. The men who played at courts of kings. The poets. The storytellers. The wandering men.

I listened to The Furey's Greatest Hits during my first pregnancy in 1997. Never was happier, never will be again. There's no feeling like knowing your child is dancing in your belly to the music you grew up on. Now he's a teen, and listens to Irish songs on the weekends when he parties...LOL.

Original a dutch song , that has been covered by many artist in many languages , Well worth to listen to all the different languages.

My mum always told me this was my dad's favourite song. He passed away a good few years ago now and I don't know why I've never listened to this before, but it is actually perfect. It summed him up to a tee. Down at the Red Rose Cafe everyone forgot who they were, forgot their woes and struggles in life.... beautiful...

This is my favourite . I love especially to play it when I go to Holland on my holidays annually. I love to join in the words each time I listen to it.

Seen these guys last week. I didn't know this song before I went in but I was obsessed with it when I came out. What a band 😍

The high status men. When the spoken word was valued and the song even more. When lyrical ballads were the norm. When people were entertained by what they heard. The beauty of it. The imagery. When people could not read or write. The oral and aural traditions. When performance wasn’t recorded on tape or video but in the words of men who passed on their stories of great night and great days and great events and great women and men and cattle and, and everything. Seamus O’Grianna was a Donegal man who recorded the stories he’d heard. An Irish speaker who lived in Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore). He wrote under the pen name of Maire (Mary). He spent his last years, as I think also did his brother, also a writer, far away from his homestead in a psychiatric hospital in Letterkenny. I wonder why that was. As a teenager I went to where he grew up to learn Irish. We met men who were professional storytellers. That’s all they did. Went from house to house and pub to pub and told their stories. Not their personal stories but their stories of the past where they lived. Of the people and their customs. Their loves and their woes. Their fights and their hardships. Their class struggles and their work. Their marriages and their dowries and bargaining over women and drink and farms. Their fears for their children and of death and disease. The world today doesn’t even know that Maire ever fuckin existed. He was more important to me than that halfwit Madonna who in some convoluted way probably thinks she’s Maire, ie Mary, the mother of Jesus. F F S.

SO BEAUTIFULLY SANG..💗🎶

Never to early to get the vocals tuned ,in time for their concert in Enniskillen 3 Feb '24

Spent many a happy hour listening to this song at the Breda beer festival. At the time i was told there was 200 cafes in a square mile, don't know if it was true but it seemed like it and a good time was had by all.

Finbar fury Irish legend 🇮🇪

Better song,love it this song.

They come from the forests and the factories too And they all soon forget who they are. The cares of the day are soon washed away As they sit at a stool by the bar. The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt Doesn't look like she works on the land. The man at the end, is a very good friend Of a man who sells cars second hand. CHORUS Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the Harbour There by the port just outside Amsterdam. Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter. Everyone there is so happy to be there. The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer As they try not to talk about trade. The poet won't write any verses tonight. but he may sing a sweet serenade. So pull up a chair and forget about life. It's a good thing to do now and then And if you like it here I have an idea Tomorrow let's all meet again.

Its a true life.

Grand!

Great The Furey Cape Breton Island
