    I've lived in England over 60years do lost touch with the Irish music scene and.lying in bed the other morning looking at my.phone was the 1st time I'd even heard of Mary Duff and I feel ashamed . Besides having a beautiful voice she's also a beautiful looking girl. Have now spent the last few days listening to her array of great songs and seeing interviews she's made she also comes across as a beautiful person too. Yourcandolutely fabulous Mary

    Mary Duff sings so well... the story shames me as an Englishman. The Irish people should hate us but they don't. May God bless them.

    I don't have a drop of Irish blood in my body but I want to fly to Ireland, drive to Athenry and stand in a field while listening to this track with my eyes closed.

    Beautifully sung and a wonderful song. Hopefully increasing awareness of the horrors of the Irish famine and treatment of Irish people from some quarters of English society. The potato blight also hit and badly affected Cornwall and its poor people. Thank you to Mary Duff for this beautiful rendition.

  • @johnanthony9313
    @johnanthony9313 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Mary sings this important song like a real Irish girl. As an Englishman she makes me ashamed of our history but at the same time aware that it's what human beings do to one another the world over. My grandfather was in the British army in Ireland (and the Black and Tans) and he came home ashamed of a service he'd always been proud to serve. Perfect.

    Great great song! I feel like I'm in heaven every time I hear it! Always reminds me of the closing scene of "Going My Way" as the elderly Fr. Fitzgibbon is reunited with his 100 year old mother! Would be heavenly to someday reunite with a women I'm very fond of to the sounds of this tune!

    1st time I heard this song the Irish fans were singing it at a football game with Spain. Couldn't understand the lyrics so I looked it up on you tube and it is a very beautiful song right up there with Danny Boy. I was born in America but being 100% Irish I love the Celtic Culture and wish I could visit Ireland someday. My ancestors were from Country Cork and my grand Uncle( by marriage) fought in the Easter Uprising. Damn British need to get out of Northern Ireland.
