'The Green Glens of Antrim' (Kenneth North) Performed by Paddy Reilly Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me Sure if only you knew how the lamp of the moon Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon You'd imagine the picture of heaven it would be Wher...
The Water Is Wide

'The Water Is Wide' Performed by Maura O'Connell The water is wide and I can't cross o'er, And neither have I wings to fly, Give me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I. For love is gentle and love is kind, And love is sweet when first it's new, But love grows old and waxes cold, And fades away like mornin' dew. There is a ship and it sails the sea, She's loaded deep as ...

Written by Tommy Fleming, Sang by Cara Dillon My song for you this evening, it's not to make you sad Nor for adding to the sorrows of our troubled northern land But lately I've been thinking and it just won't leave my mind I'll tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine Now Isaac he was Protestant and Sean was Catholic born But it never made a difference, for the friend...

I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean Only for nights in Ballygrand But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over And neither have I the wings to fly I wish I could find me a handsome boatman To ferry me over my love and I For it's in Kilkenny it is reported On marble stone there as black as ink With gold and silver I would support her But ...

Переглядів 17 тис.8 років тому
Miss Éire (I am Ireland) is a 1912 Irish-language poem by Pádraig Pearse. In the poem, Pearse personifies Ireland as an old woman whose glory is past and who has been sold by her children. The title of the poem was used as a title for a 1959 documentary film by George Morrison, which dealt with key figures and events in Irish Nationalism between the 1890s and the 1910s, including Pearse himself...

'Long Black Veil' - The Chieftains featuring Mick Jagger
62 now, lived through it all in Belfast, Army took over half our school and used us as human sheilds in the early 70s, many riots, many night raids on our home, rubber and live bullets flying by and over head, beatings in the dark of night by cowards in khaki uniforms, bigoted RUC/B specials murdering us at will, but yet we will prevail, the struggle continues in a different form, we will never be a conquered people and the Republic will be all of our Island soon, we will never give up our birthright, we will never give in to tyranny, we have our ancesters and we have a future, FREE.
A song to die for
Amazing absolutely amazing I'm in tears
A beautiful song, from a beautiful land, sung by a angelic voice
Great song, sad and moving.
Well done ……..but not RR. Just the way it is.
Has a American I love the sound of the Irish accent singing this song!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
In my tradition we do not betray
Being an American with deep irish catholic follow through, after seeing and talking to one of my one of 5 nun Grand aunts of 8 children thanks to my great grandfather. My Irish family appreciated the cheiftains quite often. Also why I love/hate "danny boy" my name is Daniel, so i only heard it at my birthday and funerals!!!👍lucky me!!👍
Crazy to think that the man who wrote that poem was executed in Ireland by order of an English General. Rest in peace Pádraic Pearse. Your father was English but you were more of an Irishman than most Irish with two Irish parents.
The message is clear. Pearse was doomed. He composed the poem, and told Eire to last long. Lady Eire is ancient, and indeed outlive the decades of The Troubles. He said ERIN GO BRACH!!
Me too seam omaolvhoin😂
For a brief moment my soul was connected with heaven. She has the voice of an angel. From the first note, instant tears. What more can I say?
The moral of the story: don't be a cheater, folks.
Wow!
The scaffold is high, and eternity nears She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind mourns In a long black veil she cries over my bones
i find it so hard to listen to this song without getting chills.
That means they did their job.
@@almostfm right?!
Check out Sammi Smith's version.
I've heard good music and this ain't it!
ya'll should hear John Anderson and Merle Haggard for the best version not this crap.
Never heard this version. Lefty Levon Helms Johnny Rivers and Cash. Kitty Wells. Every one great in a little different way. 😊
For a more whimsical Mick Jagger Country and Western tune his cover of "Bob Wills Is Still The King!" by Waylon Jennings while onstage in Dallas with The Stones is profoundly recommended.😂🎤🐴🎼🎵🎸🎹🥁🎻B.W.
The judge was the oatmeal guy?
Painful. The weak point in that terrific album.
For me the best of Mick Jagger,a hidden side of his.
God bless my ireland
I approached this rendition with some skepticism, but faith, Mick Jagger has produced the genuine article and you won’t find a better one in a long day’s walk. God bless the Chieftains and their collaborators!
Best version, Amazing voice! Heartbreaking.
Probably the best collab, Mick Jagger has done!
Really unique song for Mick to sing, he knocks it out of the park! Showcases his awesome voice!
Listen to Johnny Cash if you want to hear a better version. Jagger can’t sing to save his life.
His singing is an embarrassment
I remember the original as I was 9 years old at that time. This is a wonderful version, first time I've ever heard it!
Damm cool!
good, but it's missing that Texas twang.....
Mick at his best
An English singer with an Irish backup band singing a song written by an American country artist about the death if an Italian actor. What could be more perfect.
And done in the style of an Irish or Scottish lament. Up until the mid/late 60s, there was "Country" music, and there was "Western" music. Country came from primarily the southeastern US, which had been settled largely by people coming over from the British Isles. They brought their music with them, and the legacy is songs like this.
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👍👍
Name of the singer , singing this song
I love this song! It is so dreamy and romantic.
Any song the Chieftans touch is golden
This really underwhelms. Every time I listen to this (which admittedly isn’t often), I keep waiting for the band to take off into something really expressive. But nothing ever happens. I’m not a fan of Mick Jagger, at all, but when people sing with the Chieftains I guess I expect a lot more.
Tony Kane is a big fan
Classic done by several legends with incredible versions but it has never been done better than this! Ole Mick Jagger blows all the modern counter singers away and he just happens to be the Greatest front man in Rock History.
Who is this beautiful singer.
Kathleen Largey
Mick and the chieftains. Good ole song. Mick is impressive here.
Didn't know Ned Kelly could sing like this
tear jerker love and miss you Dad
My dad would sing this to me. My favorite lullaby
no, just no he cant sing ANYWHERE NEAR AS WELL AS THIS SONG DEMANDS THIS IS PURE SHIT THIS IS A FRIST CLASS CRAP JOB they ought to be ashamed of themselves fucking up this great song
Lovely version of this great song

So very sorry , from an English woman x
