I heard them on one of my trips home to EIRE/IRELAND. I have sang it ever since. 75 and going strong. I am male but hope it's played when i depart for my wife of 54 years
Remember my Kindergarten teacher teaching us this song back in 1980. Simpler and better times encapsulated by this absolute gem courtesy of the late great Makem and Clancy. That was one lucky audience in Bunratty Castle.
So beautiful and peaceful ... I really like the way Liam draws out the words in the phrase "Come over the hill, my bonnie Irish lass", rather than chopping off the word "lass" the way the High Kings do. It feels much more tender, more gentle. I love all the rowdy songs, but when Makem and Clancy start singing these sweet love songs, I just get all mushy inside!
Bob Dylan held Liam Clancy in high regard as a singer of ballads, and as a nine string guitar player, so you are in good company and your views are entirely valid.
It's hard to believe they are both dead now, isn't it? I'll never forget seeing them for the first time in concert, so overwhelmed I was crying like an infant. I had grown up listening their records, and to see them on stage was simply unforgettable. Liam and Tommy visited our city on a few occasions, and later the Clancy Brothers, Robbie O'Connell, and Tommy and friends provided us with a weekend of music and laughter we'll never forget. We'll not see their likes again.
WOW! YOU Sound like You are from Milwaukee or something? I've not only seen them MANY MANY Times at our Milwaukee Irish Fest, but My parents and I got to meet them at Irish Fest of 1983. I had JUST Graduated High School that year and Things were SO GOOD back then! Over the years I got to be friends with them and was ALWAYS Greeted with a Hug and Kiss and Smiles! The Year my Mom passed away... The Clancy Brothers and Tommy came to Irish Fest. My dad didn't want to go because he was in SO MUCH PAIN! But I said, "Dad... Mom would want us to go and have fun and remember her. SO this weekend is on ME! ALL OF IT! Food, Drinks EVERYTHING!" We also called my brother Kevin up and asked him to join us and to OUR Surprise he did! My brother is kind of "Stiff" when it comes to family stuff! Well when I said that he broke down and cried... but agreed. So we went. And as Always I had my Bodhran in hand and My Dad had a few of his FAV Harmonicas with him! My second oldest sister had died in August of 1985. So it was doubly painful that year! On the Saturday Night of Irish Fest, We ran into Liam and Tommy and they as I said greeted us with Hugs and Kisses and smiles. But then asked were mom was and we told them what happened with both her AND my sister, and both got very choked up! So They said, "Well then Lads... PLEASE Come and Join us and my brothers at the Park East Hotel tonight and we will Raise our Glasses and Voices to the their memory!" Well we couldn't refuse THAT Invitation! So we went... And JUST LIKE On an Album cover... THERE THEY WERE! In a Snug in the corner of the "Piano Bar Floor" and when Liam saw us he Invited us over and Introduced us to Pat and Big Tom Clancy! And in no time at all... it was like being with family! We were Singing and Playing and drinking and laughing and crying and doing it over and over again! It was an AMAZING NIGHT! We Sang and Drank and Played until about... 2 or 3 in the morning. When the glasses were almost empty and everyone was tired... I had my glass still half full of Guinness and I stood up on a chair and said a toast to my Mom and my two sisters who were gone. Then I started to sing "Will Ye Go Lassie Go" and then Finished with "The Parting Glass"! It was the PERFECT ENDING to a PERFECT NIGHT! So we said our good byes and looked forward to seeing them the next day at their shows and for the "Scattering"! Well... seeing as I drank MUCH Less then my Dad or brother did, I drove us home, and the entire way home they BOTH couldn't stop thanking me for the "good idea of going". That was a BEYOND INCREDIBLE Night as I had grown up with The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and My Dad and I would play their albums Not JUST On St. Patrick's Day but other times too. And until My Dad discovered The Chieftains and other Great Traditional Celtic Music THAT WAS "IRISH MUSIC" in our house! It was ONLY JUST Before "Irish Fest" started in 1981 that we had our "Irish Music" culture expanded and thankfully it has continued since! But THESE LADS... Will NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN!!! EVER!!! UP THE REPUBLIC!!! Slante. Joe Connolly Jefferson, Wisconsin
I moved to Spain recently, I love Spain, but still miss home, so much so that last night, in my dreams I dreamt I was singing this song with tears in my eyes, and sitting by a lough. Amazing how powerful a song can be in a dream. Liam, Tommy and co, they were great men 🍀
I have bicycled around the country a number of times, visiting small towns and making friends who open their homes and hearts. MANY years ago (before my first trip, I told Paddy I was going and he gave me his address and said if he's not there his ma would take care of me. If you have one vacation to take bicycle the SW of Ireland from the Shannon to Cork and life will be renewed.
Sung from the heart. Listening to this song again...Remembering my father who passed June 26th...sang him this song so many times by phone and in person. Finally he died surrounded by family and loved ones in his home of 60 years while being sung his favorite song, Danny Boy, as his wife, Joan had died 9 months before him in the same room. Singing them both into their deaths was a deep, meaningful experience. Before I die I pray to head to Kerry, Oyster Bed, Sneem to visit my great grandmother's house and to Mayo, the home of my grandfather.
My father died 2 October 2009 and mother dear on 23 December only three months later. I had 'Danny Boy' played at his funeral and 'I'll take You Home Again Kathleen at mother's. I personally placed both of my dear parents in their body bags and zipped them closed, with thanks. My job, nobody else's. I think of them still, everyday. Mother's name was also Joan. Irish songs - bittersweet. Liam evokes so many memories of my father and uncles, and their patient and loving wives. Say no more.
Yeah we sang Danny boy for my Grandads funeral, i cant hold back the tears when i hear it, its great to be happy, but theres nothing wrong with crying for someone you love.
Casey McGrath Thanks for sharing! Very poignant and beautiful. What part of Ireland are you/your ancestors from? My one unfulfilled dream before I die is to travel to Kerry (Oyster Bed in Sneem) and Mayo Ireland and walk on my ancestors land, and sing and be with the land and water there!
I have had the magnificent joy of spending many late hours with these lads in Milwaukee at Irish Fest Summer school years ago. The most amazing is that at a session at 3 a.m. on the hotel roof top they would turn to a small child and tell him it's his his turn and he'd say "I only know one song" and Paddy and Ian would say, "well you start and we'll try to catch on." It is not just the music, it is the life style of rural Ireland.
+Cindy Reed Im afraid thats an Irish thing Cindy !We are only happy when we are sad...we seem to crave this exquisite poignancy ,this perfect sense of loss is treasured more than any great victory Witness the Irish singing "The fields of Athenry" as we are hammered 4-0 by Spain
I remember, when this song was released. It seemed as if everyone, was singing it. It was a huge hit. It is really, Loch Lomond, with Irish style words.
I may be the only one thinking this, but that is one of the most poetic things anyone can say about Ireland and Scotland really. It really does say what Ireland and Scotland are... They are the same tune, but the lyrics are vastly different.
Priceless. I listen w/ sadness as he closes the door on what was meant to be. Only God knows why man succumbs to fear-- afraid to love, afraid to risk, always willing to play it safe & settle. RIP you talented men. Thank you for the music. And thank U for the memories.
@@j.s.connolly8579 nice reply I still get emotional listening to Liams beautiful voice My dad looked a bit like Liam we used to joke about it Happy times Dermot
These two are a perfect match xx I remember watching them in the old Grosvenor hall in Belfast and it was a magical experience xx Thank you for the wonderful memory.
Absolutely awesome, I kick with the right foot, but I'm using the three opening lines, I swear sing this or say to someone you love and you are in. What a song. Class.
Every time I hear this I weep... it was played at my girlfriend Jennifer's funeral- she died of a cerebral hemmorhage in 1980 at 16... it's been almost 30 years and i still grieve.
These lads are missed here in NYC all the time but especially as we await the High Holy Day. Miss the songs the pints and the chats at the Irish Pavilion on 57st. Hard to believe they are both gone. We are thankful to you both for the songs and the craic and thankful to the Big Guy Upstairs having you both pass our way. Suaimhneas síoraí
I was in Ireland in 1981 watching and hearing a lot of music but not this one. Nice job. I miss Tommy already. Saw Delores Keane and John Faulkner, also a lot of musicians upstairs at Slattery's on Capel Street. Matt Molloy and Sean Keane came in and sat down to play one night, about 2 feet in front of me. Only in Ireland.
That strong - and full of heart - sung. This melody (which e.g. Cologne carnivalists have copied for their surfacely interpreted "party songs") is in my memories since my very childhood. I grew up in West Germany, but quality knows no borders. :) "And my heart is breaking forever...!!!" Greetings from Germany! :)
"...Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond..."
this brings memories of me gram she loved this and gave me my love for irish music and all things irish I miss you every day gram and will love you always
Still listening to two fabulous representatives of Irish music. I miss them both as well as Tom Clancy and Paddy Clancy. Their like will sadly never be seen again May their souls rest in peace and may their friends and family be comforted
Not that I agree with them, but some Scots object to this (originally Scottish) version of "The Bonnie Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". I personally find the Irish lyrics much more touching.
my mother called ''sadhbh'' used 2 sing this to me when i was a baby but i always thought it was '''my love is fairer than annie'' instead of ''any'' so insted of ''annie'' she always said my name which is ''aisling'' . i love dis song i always cry lisnin 2 dis song and think of my mam love u mam and miss u lots from aisling in germany x x x x x x x x
When I was in 3rd grade in the late 70s,our school had some people in to sing their songs. I absolutely do not believe it was actually them. But I recall a few songs they did and I have seen Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem videos of the same . I wish I could have seen them live. I don't know who I did see, but I bet today they'd not get away with singing 7 Drunken Nights to grade schoolers!!!
Love this song, I’m 67 years old and have been listening to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem since I was about 12 years old.
I'm 75 and just discovered this. Heartbreaking. 11/10.
I'm 14, but have been listening to their music my whole life. It's beautiful.
Good laddie 😂
I heard them on one of my trips home to EIRE/IRELAND. I have sang it ever since. 75 and going strong. I am male but hope it's played when i depart for my wife of 54 years
Rest in peace to both men, Tommy makem 1932-2007, Liam clancy 1935-2009, both of them were 74
It’s so sad we must lose such wonderful, talented human beings. I wish they could be with us forever. 🇮🇪☘️😔
Played it for my dad wen he took his last breath as the song finished in his hospital bed wit all his family around him x RIP DAD
From far away Argentina with tears in my eyes...
We miss you boys, we miss you always, your music flows though every inch of our green land💔🇮🇪

Love this song, Tommy Makem, and Liam Clancy great Irish ballads, I was at their concert in the late 1970s. Great music, wonderful memories
Remember my Kindergarten teacher teaching us this song back in 1980. Simpler and better times encapsulated by this absolute gem courtesy of the late great Makem and Clancy. That was one lucky audience in Bunratty Castle.
Sentimental and beautiful
What a beautiful girl!
A cherished, beautiful Irish tune.
So wonderful to hear music like this. We will never forget them. Rest in Peace!
So beautiful and peaceful ... I really like the way Liam draws out the words in the phrase "Come over the hill, my bonnie Irish lass", rather than chopping off the word "lass" the way the High Kings do. It feels much more tender, more gentle. I love all the rowdy songs, but when Makem and Clancy start singing these sweet love songs, I just get all mushy inside!
Bob Dylan held Liam Clancy in high regard as a singer of ballads, and as a nine string guitar player, so you are in good company and your views are entirely valid.
What a song. I bet a lot of people sing this one through tears.
yes... as I do EVERY TIME i hear it and sing it! :(
So true god bless you all
I've gotta tell my sister that this is my funeral dirge
My Mother's favorite. I cannot sing or hear this song without tears.
It's hard to believe they are both dead now, isn't it? I'll never forget seeing them for the first time in concert, so overwhelmed I was crying like an infant.

Tommy makem, he used to live in the same village as myself in county Louth Ireland, I can remember him and proud to have him for a neighbour.
The Irish sing of love and beauty so well. "I can find more joy in sadness than you find in joy"

how very different , and yet amazing they both were , each a perfect counterpoint to the other ,and surely two of the great kings of Ireland
the world of music is a smaller place today because the parting of these two wonderful singers
This is so sweetly sung. I have heard and sang this many times. Every time, it stirs emense emotions.
Nothing over sung, nothing overplayed.
Just beautifully performed allowing the lovely melodies and harmonies to have the spotlight.
☘️ 🇮🇪 ☘️
So gently and lovingly played! Bravo!
I cry sometimes when I hear this song because my Granda who passed away before I was born used to sing it to my Nanny
Your story is so moving. God bless you as you blessed your Dad. He was really a natural singer. He sung from his heart RIP
An absolute gift. I pray we return to ballads like these. God bless the Boys. Slainte Liam!
brilliant wouldn't even begin to describe how these lads sang!!
such a lovely song, sung to the tune of "Loch Lomond." Mom always sang "Loch Lomond" to me.
Boy what an under rated song
First time when I heard this song by Liam Clancy, I just could not keep up crying.
It tugs at my heart to see Tommy so young!
Bing was the best,of them all

Grief has no time limit , may your god bless you , and i hope you meet again in heaven , you now you you will ❤️❤️❤️
his voice is amazing...song just takes me back ...
It really hits home when you can relate to the lyrics ,great song
"...Oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond..."
this brings memories of me gram she loved this and gave me my love for irish music and all things irish I miss you every day gram and will love you always
this song pulls at the heart strings and leaves a lump in one's throat !!!!
Still listening to two fabulous representatives of Irish music.
I miss them both as well as Tom Clancy and Paddy Clancy.
Their like will sadly never be seen again
May their souls rest in peace and may their friends and family be comforted
Love that song !!Love that group!!😃💚
Stunningly beautiful
Brilliantly done☺
Heard them singing this in Bangor, Co.Down nearly thirty years ago. Brilliant!!
Never see the likes of them again 👏👏👍👍🙏
love Ireland. a unique place.would move there tomorrow
my gpa and his friend played this at the local pub yesterday, along w/ other irish tunes.
love these guys,,thanks to all who post these great videos
How the hell are there 14 thumbs down for this absolute classic???
Not that I agree with them, but some Scots object to this (originally Scottish) version of "The Bonnie Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". I personally find the Irish lyrics much more touching.

There's no accounting for taste or the lack of it.
No bloody taste that’s why. Richard Dennehy
Guess some people have no taste, Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem are Irish legends.
Absolutely beautiful

Breathtaking!
Best balladeer of our generation.
Singin in your local pub in Chicago...if you happen to be in the same pub we are on that particular night :)
So tender, beautiful.
Yes, indeed, the sweet tenor voice of Liam Clancy.
The Clancy Brothers and tommy Makem used to perform in Chicago around St Patrick's Day.
When I was in 3rd grade in the late 70s,our school had some people in to sing their songs. I absolutely do not believe it was actually them. But I recall a few songs they did and I have seen Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem videos of the same . I wish I could have seen them live. I don't know who I did see, but I bet today they'd not get away with singing 7 Drunken Nights to grade schoolers!!!
Sad but beautiful.
There'll never be another like him
Amazingly beautiful love song.....pure!
Unreal version of this classic.....RIP Liam and Tommy.
what memories had to learn the lyrics of this song at school for josh furlong what a memory class of 1980
took me ages to find this thanks for the upload
You can see the dwelling of tears in the audience's eyes when the song is over. Also the woman at 5:30 is gorgeous !
She might not be so fresh looking these days.
