Absolutely fantastic.
Best version
Rest in peace Séan. Wonderful renditions of great songs from him. Had hoped to hear him again. Angela Murray
Marvellous performance.
Seán was my Irish teacher years ago in Wicklow. Absolute gentleman.
God rest him. Thanks for all the lovely music Sean.
Really enjoy listening to Sean singing that.
Sheesh what a voice! Love 💙
This is the best version I have heard of this beautiful song. You can hear every word he is singing, unlike most of the modern day performers.
Just heard of Sean's death through an episode of "Men's Shed" last week.
What a talent. Great memories of the mayhem and crack at the "Joe Mooney Summer School" Drumshanbo Co Leitrim.
Rest in Peace Sean
Fuckin yeah! Mo cheol thú. Ardú meanman gan choinne. Thank you and glóir do Dhia.
Fantastic.. great voice for a mighty song
Beautiful
Take the paint of a door I learned so much from him Never heard anyone to touch him Good night my friend I will have a pint for you 🇮🇪joe kelly song writer Derry
So much information in so few words
Brilliant.
Oh, the town, it climbs the mountains and looks upon the sea
At sleeping time or waking time, it’s there I’d like to be.
To walk again those kindly streets, the place where I grew a man,
With the Boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wren.
With cudgels stout they roamed about to hunt for the dreólín*
We searched for birds in every furze from Litir to Dooneen.
We danced for joy beneath the sky, life held no print nor plan
And we Boys in Barr na Sráide went hunting for the wren.
And when the hills were bleedin’ and the rifles were aflame
To the rebel homes of Kerry the Saxon stranger came,
But the men who dared the Auxies and who fought the Black-and-Tan
Were the Boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wren.
But now they toil in foreign soil where they have gone their way
Deep in the heart of London or over in Broadway,
And I am left to sing their deeds and praise them while I can
Those Boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wren.
And here’s a health to them tonight those lads who left with me
By the groves of Carham river or the slope of Bean ‘a Tí
John Daly and Batt Andy and the Sheehans, Con and Dan,
And the Boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wren.
When the wheel of life runs down and peace come over me
Just lay me down in that old town between the hills and sea.
I’ll take my sleep in those green fields, the place where life began,,
With those Boys of Barr na Sráide who hunted for the wren.
*Dreólín is the Irish Gaelic word for wren
Rest In Peace Sean Brilliant Performer
Great singing. my name is actually Garvey too. I am of the Dingle Garveys. So maybe we're related. It would be an honor. somehow
B'fhéidir é agus b'fhéidir go bhfuil gaol agat leis na ceoltóirí eile, muintir Junior Crehan !!
An-mhaith!
Duine de na h-amhránaí is fearr atá againn !!
Did he write that? RIP
No he didn't but he did an amazing job of it!
