Galway Girl - Sharon Shannon, Mundy & Galway City

[@podunkcitizen2562]

An old Irish classic, written by an American from Texas. It's not hard to imagine adding a washboard player and you've got a Cajun Zydeco song.

[@Rodinmod]

I imagine Steve Earle is of Irish descent.

[@melissakelly9629]

This is what is so beautiful about music, the intermixing of the music of people, especially the oppressed creating something new and beautiful, there is definitely an Irish twang to Cajun and creole music, cos it wasade in the fields and the sugar and tobacco plantations by people who made music together to cheer themselves when they were opressed.

Irish and Spanish had and have a very nice joint history, moments of honor and moments of joint struggle ... Many Irish had to come to Spain given the complicated situation that existed with England at that time. People who left their beautiful country to go to another they did not know, with a different language, very spirited and fun like the Spanish, and also with the same religion ... Many Irish people formed families with Spaniards, and fought for Spain with loyalty , courage, honor and unwavering fidelity .. In the 17th and 18th centuries the existence of numerous Irish surnames such as Ó Reilly, Ó Higgins, Ó Conaill, Mac Donnell, etc. was quite common in Spain. I hope this humble comment serves as affectionate small tribute and thanks to all those people, as well as encouraging the Spanish people above all, to study the historical links that unite both brother nations ...🇮🇪🇮🇪🇪🇸🇪🇸

How can 1.4K people put a thumbs down to this. Whether you like the song, the culture or the religion this video simply shows pride, love , caring, community and family. I can only assume these people have never met a caring community/nation like the Irish & Scots!!! We love all... come and join us! Xx

[@sch85718]

Those 1.4 k are probably American democrats.

[@calumanson6914]

@Peacelily completely missed my point in my comment. Not once did I say the Scots share the Irish culture. Why would we want to share Irish culture when we have a very proud one of our own. If you're going to comment then make sure you read and understand the initial comment first.

[@calumanson6914]

@Peacelily wow..... Good on you.

Wow!! absolute pleasure to listen to that song. I lived in ireland for 7 years, and those were the best days i have ever lived till now. Am living happily with my wife and beautiful daughter in Mauritius now, but half of my heart is still in My Ireland even after leaving there for nearly 10 years now.

[@Rikki0]

After all the great music Ireland has provided us over the years I am extremely proud, as a Texan, that a Texan was able to repay Ireland a small bit with this song. Thanks Steve Earl, and thanks Erin.

[@craptuie]

Austin Texas right there with ya

[@GaelicTales]

I've lived in Texas for 4 years, originally from the Midlands of Ireland, couldn't agree more, a great song by a great Texan about a great Irish county

[@phonemonkey3]

Steve Earle is the man. Johnny Come Lately another Irish tinged belter.

[@fxq777]

Rikki0, Galway is the very best. If you ever get to visit just one city in Ireland go to galway

Shows how similar Irish music is to Appalachian country, it's the same!

[@michaelpacker561]

Man - music doesn't bring me to tears that often... but this... this.... wow!

Galway is one of the most nice cities I've ever known. It's energy flows like the Corrib, plenty of nice, enthusiastic and welcoming people. If you visit Galway once, be sure that you'll want to go back again and again and again 💚☘️ Go raibh mile maith agat!! 🇮🇪 Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸

One of the most Irish Songs was written by a dude from Texas👏👏👏👏

[@Rodinmod]

Three of us took a trip to Belfast, Derry and Dublin a couple of years ago. The country has an interesting history and it was good to know what Ireland has been through. And the people are beautiful, charming and friendly. My Mom emigrated from England to the States after marrying my Dad during the war, so I have a great connection with that part of the world. And I never knew that many Irish immigrants to the US passed through Liverpool before embarking for America. Love from California!
