    I love this. It’s the simplicity for me. Just let a natural voice go and let it ring. No need for the elaborate stuff that happens in our modern world.

    Watching Grossberger sing this on “StirCrazy” brought me here. Great song Jerry!✌️

    You did a wonderful job with this piece.
    I have heard this song my whole life. As I grew up and moved to the Pacific Northwest, I missed my family very much, and I would sit by the creek or lake, singing this song to the night sky.
    For some reason, I would feel connected to my family again. Thank you for reminding of this...❤

    I remember being about ....7 or 8 watching stir crazy with my mum and dad (not really paying attention as I was constructing a fishing rod out of k’nex to attach ham to and torment the cat with... and don’t moan at me she was horrible and needed taking down a peg) as soon as grossburger started singing I stopped and listened ........ beautiful, I don’t know the fella singing this version but it’s OUTSTANDING absolutely beautiful 👌🏻

    Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
    Angels in heaven, know i love you
    If you don't love me, love whom you please
    Put your arms round me, give my heart ease
    Give my heart ease love, give my heart ease
    Put your arms round me, give my heart ease

    Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail
    Birmingham Jail love, Birmingham Jail

    Awesome version. Thought it was the original or at least comparable.
    I always thought the scene in the movie was hilarious because this great voice obviously wouldn't be coming out of that big guy. When I was a kid and saw this on t.v my brother and I found it hysterical. A badly dubbed sweet voice coming out of this behemoth. Much to surprise it actually was him singing. Quite incredible.
    I noticed your version is actually a half step higher than in the movie too. Nice job. It sounds like an Irish lament.
