Gerry Carney "Paddy" The official music video

[@edeire29]

I listen to this song often,as someone who was lucky enough to have good people round me when I lived in England,I know many who have fallen by the wayside,thankfully I was able to move home,

[@muintir]

This is a wonderful song about the men forced to emigrate to foreign shores to survive the bad times in Ireland. God they worked hard and to dull the pain played hard too.

[@joebloggs8751]

My father is a Kildare man who met My mother in the Galti. What a song they both love it too !

[@NEWYORKIRISH1]

[@l7a1rry]

[@edeire29]

As someone who lived away this song will always be special to me, so many still for one reason or another will be alone this Christmas n this song always reminds me how lucky I was to be able to return to my homeland,

[@eamonmacdonnell2627]

wonderful song Gerry the best emigration song I know of..covers so many aspects of leaving home...this song was written with Gerrys uncle P.J.Kelly in mind. P.J. was killed on a building site accident in 1960s I was at his funeral in Bekan a very sad day.. There are many fine versions of this song but this is the original and the BEST...... Well done Gerry....

[@katefitzgerald8618]

Lovely song so sad for all those who had to go to foreign shores to work and never came home sang with such meaning well done Gerry

[@O123-j9s]

That is a really a beautiful song, and the voice is also outstanding, He should front a band he is well above average .....

[@itamadden]

Yea, agreed with everything everyone said, I emmigrated in 1989 with 126 pounds and got of the bus and looked right and left and thought Ok which direction should I go at Victoria Coach station in London - only a young girl - its just happening all the time but thank God our young people are least going abroad with an education now. Well done Gerry - brilliantly captured

[@deeneyjg1]

This is a song that any and every Irish man woman and child will remember and most likely hail as the NEW IRISH national anthem...........FABULOUS. The melody is lovely too. I dont know anything about you yet Gerry......but I have a feeling I am gonna hear an awful lot more very soon...........best wishes for the future

A lovely song, it was played on Monday at the funeral of my Uncle Paddy. The words fit perfectly to him and his life

[@smithcavan]

Brilliant !!!! Love this song... Great singer...Beautiful scenery nice to see live version

[@gerrycarneymusic]

@pembrokeshire100 as you can see from the comments, you are pretty much alone in your opinion, but of course you are entitled to it. i am proud to have written this song, and it has changed my life. it is dedicated to my late uncle pj kelly, who was killed in a trench on a building site in england in 1964 at the age of 21 years. thanks for going to the trouble of posting your comment, its sbout the only negative one that i have recieved and it doesn.t bother me in the least

Gerry this is a great song - may it bring you continued success. Mick Mc

[@josparkes1]

Lovely and sad too, and what some have been through is to be appreciated and thought about !

[@PatchandMolly20]

Love this song. Think it is on par with Phil Colter's song, "The Town I Love So Well". It is a song that will have so much meaning to a lot of people that had loved ones forced to travel to England to find work in order to put food on the table. Well done Gerry, brilliant.

[@leeanne72]
