Interesting. I learnt this song off sheet music from a home made Scottish song book in the 70's. I've always sung it and played it in 6/8. The song stands up for itself without any help.
JIMMY SHARKEY GREAT MUSIC FROM A GREAT ERA IN IRISH MUSIC HORSLIPS RORY GALLAGHER THIN LIZZY GARY MOORE AND VAN MORRISON HELPED US TRU THE DARK DAYS OF THE TROUBLES
Yes, wonderful version of this song that was apparently sung on the streets of Newcastle in the mid 19th Century. I saw an episode of a Catherine Cookson story where a blind girl is singing this in a pub, I think or somewhere where there is an audience.
A magnificent band padraic. There is one English band that could keep up with these lads though. Strawbs, their early music, were magnificent too. Both bands were much appreciated by me. It was hard to choose which band I loved the most.
What is English if geordie is not? They are called geordies because they were supporters of English King George at the times of the Jacobean rebellion and they live in an area that is part of England. Anyway Horslips was an Irish band. Scot Dick Gaughan does a nice version of this song.

My mother bought me this album for Christmas in 1975 or 76, I still spin it every Christmas
One of the most magical bands of all time, this music will live forever!
I totally agree with you on that.
These were my favourites band when I was a kid in the seventies. Loved their music. Always will
Always liked these guys since I first heard them in the late 70's. A nice mix of traditional and contemporary.
Top Irish band ever. Aslan second. That's it.

13jalopy, thanks a lot for this extremely lovely vid, so perfectly fitting the music
a beautiful English song ,brought to life by the Irish.Iwonder do the Brits really appreciate the beauty of their musical heritage??/
Well, I can't say I got to these videos by unquestionable means, but I can say I do appreciate it. As of around an hour or two ago.
Well Charles O Connor is from the north east of England (Horslips mandolin and fiddle player)

And you remind me of the gobshites.
It's not English, it's geordie. There is a difference!

@@heliotropezzz333 But this was sung by the Geordie member of the band.
The English, you mean? Yeah, some of us do.
