I've asked that this recording of this song be played at my funeral. Followed by Sharon Shannon's The Blackbird. No hurry. For now, I'm going to visit Tommy's grave this week and lay some Tendercrop flowers. 🍀🍀🍀🍀 Update: Done. Irish and American flags wave over Tommy's grave (just look for them toward the back of the cemetery of you go). Plenty of stones, shells and coins left by visitors.

Love Makem, the Clancys and all irishfolk music. My mom- not Irish but married into it- would play the records at home and us kids would dance around the house. One thing bugs me about Tommy and Liam too. Why do they so often feel the need to recite the lyrics to the song before they sing it. Kinda takes away from the emotion of the song doesn’t it!

I can never listen without weeping. My father was from East Cavan not far from where Mr. Makem was born. What a thing it is to love a country.

Oh my gosh - how could I have missed this performance! Pure brilliance, acappella no less!. It's one of the finest performances of Irish traditional music I've ever heard (and I'm rather deeply steeped in the old sod for better or worse.)

My grandmother, Bridget Molloy, was born in Croagh, Donegal in 1988. I can't listen to this without crying and aching for the many souls that fought for freedom and a united Ireland.
