This song transports me back to early mornings sitting at the kitchen table as a child with my Dad singing this song and my mum making breakfast before school. Great times ! Many a tear lost by all throughout my life when listening to this song and recalling great people. R.I.P Dad and Uncle Jack.
Takes me back near 30 years. Awaken on a Sunday morning. My oul man would have this blaring on the stereo in the kitchen..While he battled a frying pan that was spitting back at him . They were the days. Great song for sending me back to being that 9 year old kid.
tears are coming to my eays just now because I came to this page to remind me of my old man and most of the comms say we are hear listening to this for the same reason
looking out this song for my Dad,s funeral tomorrow, he used to play this a lot when i was a boy. I didn't appreciate how good a song it was at the time. Sitting crying as i type this out
one of the greatest songs of all time, i always get shivers when i hear this song it reminds me of when i was young and my father use to come home in the early hours drunk and he always played this x
Thanks so much for posting this, I'd been looking for it for ages. My mum used to play it when I was wee and it made me cry. I listened to it just now for the first time in many years and it made me cry again! Soppy thing..
been brought up with this since i was 2,by the time i was a teenager,i totally was pissed off with it,when i turned 20+ i've loved it and to this day the memories keep flooding back,what great words and id do the same,your sweet heart is the world,to be protected from all and sundry x

Thanks for sharing. I'm putting together my playlist of my favorite duo. Foster and Allen. My mum would clean the house playing them and I would follow her thru the house and sing along with her. Very comforting, thanks again.
23 years ago I was a DJ in Greenland, I played this one night for fun, and the " natives loved it ! ended up i had to play this number 3 times a night !
I love this song it make me think about me and me dad was in the car and mom was gone somewhere and we would just listen to the song that came out when he was very young and he would listen to them with grandma. 😉
Don't know where this song originated from - there are Irish, Scottish, English, European, US, Canadian and Iranian versions. Foster and Allen are the definitive version and made it famous.

Twenty years ago last Christmas Came a tempter to my wife Stole the only flower I cherished And I vowed I'd have his life In the street one day I met him In my eyes that villain grinned Then the curse of Cain came o'er me 'Twas on that very day I sinned Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil And I dream as the sparks light on the floor Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love As she stood outside that good old Smithy door Twelve months passed then came my trial In the court I saw my wife And I heard her beg for mercy When they sentenced me for life For twelve long years I've read her letters The only comfort I can tell When I heard that she was dying 'Twas then my lonely spirits fell Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil And I dream as the sparks light on the floor Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love As she stood outside that good old Smithy door Late one night I dodged the warders O'er the prison walls I sprang Then on home foot-sore and weary At the breaking of the dawn She was glad, so glad to see me In my arms that night she died Then the warders rushed the doorway And they found me there inside When they saw her lifeless body And I kneeling on the floor They said Jack, my lad, we'll trust you Come back when you've laid her low Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil And I dream as the sparks light on the floor Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love As she stood outside that good old Smithy door
I was angry at what the mi5 man did to me before I went to the grave yard when the volcano erupted I no jp and me were angry I thought it waas are fault that the volcano erupted and I didnt want that to happen thats what I thought happened before I read it in coras bible

Lyrics?
Twenty years ago last Christmas
Came a tempter to my wife
Stole the only flower I cherished
And I vowed I'd have his life
In the street one day I met him
In my eyes that villain grinned
Then the curse of Cain came o'er me
'Twas on that very day I sinned
Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
As she stood outside that good old Smithy door
Twelve months passed then came my trial
In the court I saw my wife
And I heard her beg for mercy
When they sentenced me for life
For twelve long years I've read her letters
The only comfort I can tell
When I heard that she was dying
'Twas then my lonely spirits fell
Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
As she stood outside that good old Smithy door
Late one night I dodged the warders
O'er the prison walls I sprang
Then on home foot-sore and weary
At the breaking of the dawn
She was glad, so glad to see me
In my arms that night she died
Then the warders rushed the doorway
And they found me there inside
When they saw her lifeless body
And I kneeling on the floor
They said Jack, my lad, we'll trust you
Come back when you've laid her low
Sure I dream as the hammer strikes the anvil
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
Of my blue-eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
As she stood outside that good old Smithy door
