A song written over 100 yrs ago and made famous by one of the greatest entertainers, Al Jolson. A brilliant version by the Fureys with a wonderful banjo lead in their original. I will love this song forever.
Met my husband when I was 15, we were married for 54 years, He passed away last year and I still love him as I loved him when I was “Sweet Sixteen “ this song always makes me weep! So sentimental!
Met her when she was 12 years old and loved being in her company ,now after 57 years of marriage I love her as much as she loves me . And they said it wouldn't last ,real live does
Kees.....64 golden years....I met my lovely Mary (on a small green in Kirkby)...just as she was about to turn 16 way back I 1966.....we are now in our 70s...(I couldn't imagine life without her)....
I remember seeing them in Perth (1994?) after I bought two tickets. I didn't have a lady at the time. I met a woman a few months later. I didn't think she'd know The Fureys. We loved their music and fell in love. The music brings back the happiness.
My dearest love it was 63 years ago yesterday that we first met and fell in love you were my one and only love It’s been 13 years since we were parted and I’ve missed you and think of you every day since,sleep peacefully Jan xxx

I met my wife when she was 17. We’re still married now. I’m 75. By the bye, I took her to see The Fureys live in London in 1978. They were shite, no better than a bad pub band.

Lovely. Why there are 27 dislikes dosent make sense. But each to their own.
From a time when you could talk about how you could love someone who was 16 when you are now in your 40's. Gone are those days.
Love this ❤️
Beautiful.

What a song ❤ meet my boyfriend at that age ,still 2 getter ,
Great version with Paul
Class
The banjo badly missing here
so unpretentious...and honest.
Second to none .
Is that Davy Arthur on the squeezebox..? 🤔
Nope.
It's Paul Furey on the accordion, who died in 2002. Davey Arthur isn't there at all.
Have you seen this version with Finbar and Imelda May, gorgeous! th-cam.com/video/aHRvXpY4wUY/w-d-xo.html
Check out Al Jolson's version of this old song as well. It's very special.
My mothers favourite and she could sing al jolson songs and won contests liked the fureys
@@maryrennie5076 Her taste was as good as mine, Mary.
To Brian and Alison, Middleton in Teesdale .
❤️❤️
Where's the bass player? Can hear him but not see him/her.
What was the name of all of them 🤔 i can't remember
Thats when i met my wife still together after sixty
😢😢😢😢 so very important❤dadg
can't beat the oldy's
🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Brilliant but not quite the same without the banjo lads
16 is a bit close lads, just saying now...all the best...!
Too bad finbar didn't do this performance
Jufab
I met my wife when she was 17. We’re still married now. I’m 75. By the bye, I took her to see The Fureys live in London in 1978. They were shite, no better than a bad pub band.
Is that Finbarr singing ?
No, it's George Furey.
Where's finbar
He'd left them and gone solo by this point. As of 2023 George and Eddie Furey are still touring as The Fureys. Paul Furey died in 2002.
❤😢😅❤
YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD DO THIS SONG LIVE
Uhhpf
