The Clancy Brothers - The Leaving Of Liverpool

I was a 16 year old Liverpool sailor when this melody was a big hit. It thrilled me and all these years later it still does. Thanks for the evocation.

This is my favorite version of my most favorite Irish song. This whole live cd is great. My Uncle had this in his jukebox in his restaurant Pier 92 in Rockaway Beach, NY (the Irish Riviera) Brings back terrific memories of listening to great tunes with a cold beer overlooking beautiful Jamaica Bay.

A great performer. He can make you cry if you don't watch out.

Lovely, lovely version of an old Sailors song.

I was just thinking I hadn't heard Irish music in a while and immediately rediscovered The Clancy Brothers: though I love the High Kings version of the song, there is something so charmingly smooth about that's irresistible like a lot of their stuff : )

Pete Seeger la chante très bien aussi. Belle chanson...

I had a relative that sailed from Liverpool about a hundred years ago. I did the same thing a hundred years later. A poignant song

Man, I really love this song, but those matching sweaters are REALLY killing me. haha

[@strollby4800]

Great version

Nostalgia

[@paulschofield3072]

Loved it, but if the verses had been sung at the same pace as the chorus, you would set the gig on fire. God bless.

[@Cfizzle666]

I like both versions
