Still keep returning to this one at different times... when I need it... Helps a lot! Thank you!

[@danielthompson8306]

I'm Scots-Irish...I search this stuff out...absolutely down to the folk and wood...as we be mostly "drawers of water---and hewers of wood"...Wood & Whisky...that's all we be.

[@musashidanmcgrath]

Great to see Glen keeping this beautiful Irish tradition going. Sadly, the 'oul sing songs - or 'come all yis' as we call them in Dublin - have all but vanished in most circles. Growing up in Dublin, at every family gathering I remember amazing 'come all yis' sessions in which my mother/father/aunts/uncles/grandparents/cousins would all participate.(one of my uncles is Tommy Byrne from the Wolfe Tones)So I love the fact that Glen is performing these 'oul gems around the world. I fear it is a tradition fast forgotten by the younger generations of Irish coming up. Give me a jar or two and I'll gladly blast out Raglan road or Monto. I just wish more people would. :) Good lad Glen. Keep her flat sssstick.

[@dannythered9124]

Isn't this song traditional Scottish song. Not Irish?

[@dannythered9124]

@paul w now that's confusing lol

[@conorkelly947]

Dubs sure. You'll never be shy of a good session if you get out of the city

[@colinarmst]

It was originally a Scots song taken from a poem called Armstrong’s Farewell’ written the night before his execution by a Border Reiver.

[@peterjudehennigan7678]

It is a scots song adopted by the Irish it's not really known in Scotland us Irish know a great song when we hear it fell in love with it and have the singers to do it justice 😉

[@Hibernia63]

Ah - best rendition since Ronnie Drew! I saw Glen last Nov in Prague!! What a voice!! Come back soon!!! 🙂

[@0656003]

[@lesleydooley9783]

For my brother Cecil J.Morris (Ces RIP) who left us suddenly 3 years ago......this was played at his funeral as I felt.it expressed him perfectly........

[@jacksbakery]

[@minervamclitchie3667]

My husband is Scottish, this song is Scottish in origin. Great version by Glen Hansard.

[@richieosullivan7850]

Its both irish and scottish if you look back through history... But i wont argue as we are both celts

[@dannythered9124]

Yeah it's originally Scottish but for some reason the Irish think it's theirs lol

[@smartyjones8391]

@@dannythered9124 It may have originated in Ireland.. then again Scotland got its name from the "Scoti" or "Scotti" a Gaelic speaking people who had come from Ireland around 500AD and settled in Argyll

[@DougieBegg]

@@smartyjones8391 The song is a traditional Scottish song which was usually sung at the end of a gathering, it was the most parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne.

Where is this venue. I noticed the mural behind the stage.

Lookie like Austin

[@whatabouttheearth]

I think this is 'The IT Crowd' when they grew up.

[@jamesmather2839]

Perhaps it’s a generational thing. As well sung this is, with modern audio technology, my own choice will be Ronnie Drew.

[@dickturpin9498]

Agreed.

[@SideshowCris]

It’s my opinion that you can state a favorite rendition, but each singing is a snapshot of the moment it was sung, warts and all. So the love comes not from the quality of the recording or the prowess of the singing, but from the way in which the captured emotion reaches down into your soul. That’s just me, though

[@pikkuapuri]

Oh my Buddha.

[@dickturpin9498]

[@chrism697]

Jake Clements in the back round.

[@hntrains2]

"Of all the money that e'er I had I have spent it in good company" - that does not sound right to me.

[@aboriginee2000]

Five people have no soul.

[@wdobni]

its a fair try....but certainly not the best version....he has good pitch and a strong voice, but not the age and gravity and depth that this song needs....he sings it like a pop song, not like the lifetime's accumulated wisdom of an honest but drunk loser
