thank, you all for the amazing support these past few months , reading your stories and uplifting comments mean the world to me . What song would you guys like for me to do next ?
Emmet Cahill, your Dom Perignon melodic voice and dramatically and emotionally deep vocal stylings, performances overall with your accompaniment are world and eternity class, "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" (Keats). Superbissimos !
I'm 14 (Young for a song like this, I know) and my mother used to sing this to me, until I was 7, before I went to bed. She sadly passed away last year and I've finally found this again. There's a part of me that feels like she's still with me and it brings me comfort.
I’m sorry kiddo, for your loss. My dad passed away when I was a youngster as well. I’m a mum now me self and love singing my wee babes lullabies and the like. I’m sure she’ll sing to you again in the next life ❤️. Stay blessed dear.
My Mom was exactly 48 & 6 months old when she passed away from cancer, she had a beautiful voice & she would sing it to me, now I'm sitting here crying like a baby, God Bless Be Strong.
My Grandmother use to sing this to my dad and his siblings when they were little, and she sang this to me and my cousins when we were younger. Her great grandchildren sang this at her funeral not long ago. She was a great and proud Irish lady.
My Irish grandmother used to sing 5his to us as well. She was a grand old lady... full of Irish love and a great jokester. Miss her and may dad, her son always.
I’m now 71 years young and I can still remember my granny singing this to me as she rocked me to sleep, and I’m not ashamed to say this brought back some wonderful memories and tears to my eyes x thank you Emmet x
Lovely, I’m 14 and my mom sang this to me every night, I always imagined a young girl standing out in the woods in a patch of flowers with a cabin in the background as I sat in my bed with the song in my ears. I’ll be quite sad when my mom is gone, but this will make she feel like she is with me at all times.
I learned this song in grade school in the 70's and sang it to all 5 of my children in the 90's and 2000's. Now I'm singing it to my grandkids! My youngest son honored me with it at his wedding as we danced during the mother-son dance. Thank you!
@@susancoddington6393 no problem at all, we all have to take in to account how others feel, sometimes what seems like you just made someone smile, you could've saved their life, that's why I always try to be as kind as possible ❤️
when I was around 4-6 and had a bad dream my grandfather would sing this to me. I’m 13 now and I thought it was all just a dream until I looked it up. It makes me so happy knowing that this song was real. I’ll never forget about you, papa.
Many have tried many have failed, we may sound different and sing different songs but we have the same attitude problem 😅😂❤ and love for music and family
I'm not even Irish, yet this makes me want to cry. I sing the first verse to my little one, since she has Irish blood from her mom's side. It's my way to teach her to remember her Irish roots, and how an ancestor Irish mother might of sang a lullaby to her kids.
My grandmother was an Irish immigrant. This was sung at her funeral. I am moved to tears everytime I hear it. I think it was also played at my grandfather's because he used to sing it to his children, but he died before I was born so I'm not sure.
Our mother was an O'Brien. Her family came from County County Cork. When my sister lay dying a year ago last October I sang this song to her whilst holding her hand. I think of my dear mother and sister when I hear it or sing it.
My mother turned 90 a few weeks ago and we ended our ‘family reunion’ birthday party for her by singing this song. Two of us accompanied on guitar and ukulele and Mom sang along with the group. In fact she sang this song to ALL of us at bedtime and my sisters and I continue the tradition - four generations cherish the memories!!
My grandma would always sing this to me before she passed. Now I sing it to my nephews and nieces before they go to sleep. I am 21yrs of age, and when I have kids of my own, I’ll tell them of my grandma and how she would always sing this to me while rocking me fast asleep. While she was on her deathbed, she did say, “My son, sing this when you have kids of your own, they’ll love you as you loved me.”
When I was 13 my grandmother died at 83. I was in total shock and in deep mourning. My father used to play this song on the record player while sitting in his lazy boy chair. He too was in shock and mourned in that chair for a few days. I felt so sad for my father loosing his Irish mother. He took it hard.
Listening to this today the day my papa is being buried. He sang this song the last day he was alive in the hospital. That moment still feels like yesterday when I listen to this
I’m now almost 30. My dad sang this to me every night when I was young. It’s now my three year old daughters favorite song. Hopefully it’ll be passed down to her children as well.
My Dad sang this to me every time I was sick as a child 😭. At 41, I still hear him. He assed away about 14 years ago, but this song brings a part of him back. Thank you for the memory. I needed it.
My Mom used to sing this to me in my Dads rocking chair before putting me to bed as a wee child. It brings me memories of great love, comfort and safety!
My grandma and my momma used to sing me this before bed every night till I was 8 or 9 my grandma has been gone for years and my mom hasn't sang this in years but I still remember and I just wanna say thank you because now I can share this with my younger sibling and hopefully my future kids as well ❤
A while back , i heard this song and immediately recognized it. I recognized it because my mom would sing it for me when i was a baby , and to this day i still remember hearing it.
Wow! My Father sand this song to me when I couldn't sleep. I only remember the refrain; but maybe that's all he sang? My Grandparents came to the US from Ireland and my Father was first generation Irish. I love all of thes songs; Thank you to Emmit Cahill for sharing them!
Ya know it's really comforting to see how many people also cry to this song. My mom used to sing it form me every night when I was a kid but then she got really sick with cancer. (shes ok now though, thankfully) Our relationship suffered as a result and don't feel nearly as close to her as I used to but this song brings back really sweet and soft memories form when I was little.
My (American) Irish grandmother used to sing this to me when I was a wee lass. I loved it and can still hear her voice. Always makes me feel deeply peaceful and content to remember it.
This brings me to tears. My mom sang this for me by my bedside when I was little as her father did for her. She is still alive(thank goodness) but my grandpa died 11 years ago come November 23(day after my bday). I'm going to ask her to sing it with me tomorrow if she's up for it. I envy people in their late 20s early 30s who still have their grandparents. I never knew my dad's parents and I lost my grandparents who were literally my second parents 11 & 7 years ago. Cherish your loved ones always 💜
I'm 76 years old. My mother Mary would rock me to sleep, singing this song with her soft beautiful voice. I was 2-3 years old at the time. When she died at age 89, at her gravesite, it was my turn to sing it one last time to her. Tears streamed down our cheeks. She was a Saint indeed.😪💖
My mother used to sing this song to me until i was about 6, of course now days im about 15 and too old for this song but this bring me back to when i was young. Sadly my mom is pretty sick at the moment with anxiety and recently she has damaged her nose and it got infected. i just hope she gets better.
I haven't heard this song in years but I almost started crying, my mum used to sing this to be when I was little... My Grandma was born in Ireland and moved to the USA.
Im so thankful for being able to have found this a few months ago. My mom used to sing a little of this to me as a kid and it popped into my head this morning and I had to come listen to it. I lost my mom a couple of years ago and miss her dearly so thank you for giving me a connection to my mom again.
I remember both my Irish American dad and German American mom singing lullabies to my sisters and myself. I sang this to my girls and they to their kids. About 12 years ago, my grandmother came to live with us after a stroke. My first granddaughter was about 3 then and she spent many nights with us. I would sing this to her at bedtime. Shortly, my grandmother asked me to sing it to her too. She liked having someone in the room with her as she fell asleep. No matter how old are young they are, when someone needs or wants you to sing them lullabies, I hope you recognize the honor and privilege and sing your heart out! ❤️❤️
This song was on an old playlist of lullabies I used to listen to every night, and it reminds me of when I was little. I haven’t heard it in ages, so glad to find it again.
I am 57 years old, and no one ever sung this to me, and yet this made me cry because it brought back a memory of my mother rocking me on her lap with my head resting on her chest as a five or six year old. She passed almosy 17 years ago, but this lullaby brought back such a special memory. This song is absolutely beautiful. I am so glad i found this ❤
I used to sing this song to my daughters when they were little. Sometimes they tell me how they remember. I’m 73 now and still sing it when I miss them.
I am moved to tears remembering how much my mother loved Bing Crosby's version in the movie 'Going My Way'.... We are not of Irish descent, but the images of a mother, any mother, comforting her child, are enough to touch even the most brawny man's heart. God Bless All here.
my grandma sang this to my dad who sang this to me which i now sing to my loves, my lovely children i babysit and i will sing it to my own children one day. its so beautiful and not only reminds me of good times but how amazing and moving Ireland is.
I'm 48 this year. My mom passed more than 20 years ago now. I LOVE this song so much. My Ma would sing this to me when i wouldn't or couldn't sleep. It still Brings peace and yet many tears. I don't Hear Emmet even though its right there on the screen I hear my mother's Sweet Voice.
Outstanding. No matter what my lifes envolved me in over aaaaall the years, Wen it comes to my turn to go, Forget the massive amount of music and everything else iv ever been envolved with. I hope i can bring this song to mind, Just to bring me back to the short few yrs i had with my pops up until 1980. Failing this, I'll rest easy if they play it wheeling me through the church. God bless
My grandma (rest easy) used to sing this to me, she passed almost 11 years ago and my father passed almost six. This song reminds me of them and in the first time I’m a few years I cried listening to this again, now I sing this to my son❤
My grandma used to sing this to me as a child. She passed away July 2, 2022. I miss her terribly, but listening to this song and singing it to my son makes it feel like shes still with me.
My mum used to sing this to me when i was younger it great at calming me down for bed (adhd and mild autism amongst other things) and I found out today her grandparents were Irish and sang it to her parents (i think there dad) and then they sang it to her, and you all know ill learn it of by heart to sing to my kids if I’m ever blessed enough to have some
Ah boy, that takes me back to my Irish grandmother, tea and burnt toast. She'd scrape off the black bits and put butter and jam on it! Rest well, granny!
I’m Irish, Polish, and several other things too, lived in the US all my life but I’ve always wanted to go to the UK and visit whatever roots I might have. (I need to do a DNA test at some point.) But goodness gracious just hearing this makes whatever Irish in me so happy I can’t even.I wish I’d heard this song when I was younger so I could remember it as fondly as others in the comments do. I just found this while clicking around listening to Celtic folk music. But I’m not sorry I clicked. Gorgeous song.
i learnt the chorus of this song in 2nd grade when i was homeschool. has always been my favorite lullaby yet my parents could never remember it, thought it was a weird fever dream or something. googled the lyrics finally 6-7 years later and i’m so happy i could find the full version. made me tear up.
Let’s be honest hear if you’re even 1/16 Irish you’ve already mastered this song to a tee, just like if you’re 1/16 Italian you’ve masters that’s amore. It’s all because these songs were written by our own people.
30 years ago, my dear old nana would sing this to me as a little lad and i'd sing I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts for her after. Touched a lovely memory there, thanks.
Love this song 💗 my granny used to hum it to me to get me to sleep. It had been passed down many generations from my Irish ancestors from county mayo 🇮🇪 ❤️❤️
Makes me miss my grandmother. Thanks for the lullabies and sweet dreams my loving mamo' They don't make them like her anymore so beautiful kind and a Celtic voice of gold
dude WTF!!! My grandma used to sing this to me but with my name woven in. The whole family thought she made up the song all these years. Oh grandma I was not expecting such a strong moment of remembrance looking up Irish lullabies
Was singing this song round my gran and she burst in to tears becas my grate gran apparently loved to sing this song as a lulaby to children in the family.
My 3 year old went from being wide a wake for bedtime to fluttering eyelids and snoring half way though 🙏 the Irish in her couldn't cope. If only i found this sooner
@Talcum not quite! An Irish-American wrote it with full Irish heritage and Irish parents. Don’t spread misinformation, also he might have been born in Ireland but became an American citizen later,
@Talcum First off, anyone with Parents or Grandparents that were born in Ireland has the right to speak about Ireland. It’a misinformation to say that it’s an American song when someone with Irish lineage wrote about Ireland from second-hand experience. People from Ireland today have this song sung to them regularly, I’ve seen a bunch in this very comment section. Not fair to say it’s “not an Irish song”, cause it’s just about as Irish as you want to make it.
@Talcum my ancestry is German as well but I’m not a German-American, if you look him up he is listed as an Irish-American, different than someone with an Irish heritage.
thank, you all for the amazing support these past few months , reading your stories and uplifting comments mean the world to me . What song would you guys like for me to do next ?
Please do Men of Harlech and or Going Home

I used to sing this to my children when they were little. I brings back poignant memories. They’re all grown now and I pray that they will remember.
This traditional Irish lullaby was sung to me by my Irish grandmother as a wee little lad. I have never forgotten it.
When I was 3-9 this was the song my parents would sing to me and to this day I still love it
Pure blood Irish
Me mother and grandmother always would sing this to me every night before bed . I would do anything to go back to those times.
Pure blood? You been reading too much Harry Potter?
@@relent-lass7510 um no I'm just saying that I'm 100% Irish so pure blooded Irish.
Enchanting- Eyes its not a bad thing. To like Harry Potter, i just dont hear people say pure blood
Sorry, i didnt mean to offend

My mother would take my hands and start dancing with me in the living room, great memories ❤😊
This song was on an old playlist of lullabies I used to listen to every night, and it reminds me of when I was little. I haven’t heard it in ages, so glad to find it again.
My father used to sing this to me. What memories! I used to sing the first verse to my friends grandchildren when I would watch them on "date night"
Emmet Cahill's voice is really touching and beautiful!
I was looking for Irish lullabies and just happened upon this. I could probably fall asleep with this playing.
My Mum used to sing this to me and my brother in Scotland many years ago.
We finally did it , WE REACHED 100,000 views on Irish Lullaby !!! Thank you all so much , keep sharing , commenting , and liking .

My grandma used to sing this to me as a child. She passed away July 2, 2022. I miss her terribly, but listening to this song and singing it to my son makes it feel like shes still with me.
my gran would sing this to me as a child
My mum used to sing this to me when i was younger it great at calming me down for bed (adhd and mild autism amongst other things) and I found out today her grandparents were Irish and sang it to her parents (i think there dad) and then they sang it to her, and you all know ill learn it of by heart to sing to my kids if I’m ever blessed enough to have some
Ah boy, that takes me back to my Irish grandmother, tea and burnt toast. She'd scrape off the black bits and put butter and jam on it!
Rest well, granny!
I cry every song he sings
I’m Irish, Polish, and several other things too, lived in the US all my life but I’ve always wanted to go to the UK and visit whatever roots I might have. (I need to do a DNA test at some point.)
But goodness gracious just hearing this makes whatever Irish in me so happy I can’t even.I wish I’d heard this song when I was younger so I could remember it as fondly as others in the comments do. I just found this while clicking around listening to Celtic folk music. But I’m not sorry I clicked. Gorgeous song.
i learnt the chorus of this song in 2nd grade when i was homeschool. has always been my favorite lullaby yet my parents could never remember it, thought it was a weird fever dream or something. googled the lyrics finally 6-7 years later and i’m so happy i could find the full version. made me tear up.
Reminds me of childhood & the sweetness of my Mother's voice 💞
I listen to this tender lullaby just before retiring for the night. Beautiful !
Let’s be honest hear if you’re even 1/16 Irish you’ve already mastered this song to a tee, just like if you’re 1/16 Italian you’ve masters that’s amore. It’s all because these songs were written by our own people.
There's something so beautiful, saddening, nostalgic, and inspiring about this song. It reminds me of Hunchback of Notre Dame
30 years ago, my dear old nana would sing this to me as a little lad and i'd sing I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts for her after. Touched a lovely memory there, thanks.
My dad used to sing this to me every night... childhood memories XD
Good for you, when i listen to this i just tear up and cannot sleep
Perhaps the most beautiful version of this Irish classic.
Love this song 💗 my granny used to hum it to me to get me to sleep. It had been passed down many generations from my Irish ancestors from county mayo 🇮🇪 ❤️❤️
I got to sing this to my daughter and in six months I’ll sing it to our twins coming in March 2021!
Makes me miss my grandmother. Thanks for the lullabies and sweet dreams my loving mamo' They don't make them like her anymore so beautiful kind and a Celtic voice of gold
dude WTF!!! My grandma used to sing this to me but with my name woven in. The whole family thought she made up the song all these years. Oh grandma I was not expecting such a strong moment of remembrance looking up Irish lullabies
Was singing this song round my gran and she burst in to tears becas my grate gran apparently loved to sing this song as a lulaby to children in the family.
BARNEY!!!!
☺️
My 3 year old went from being wide a wake for bedtime to fluttering eyelids and snoring half way though 🙏 the Irish in her couldn't cope. If only i found this sooner
Omg my 2 month old is the same.
My childhood for sure..........my mother sang this to me every night, and we aren't Irish
@Talcum not quite! An Irish-American wrote it with full Irish heritage and Irish parents. Don’t spread misinformation, also he might have been born in Ireland but became an American citizen later,
@Talcum James Royce Shannon, Irish American Composer wrote it originally, born 1881.
@Talcum First off, anyone with Parents or Grandparents that were born in Ireland has the right to speak about Ireland. It’a misinformation to say that it’s an American song when someone with Irish lineage wrote about Ireland from second-hand experience. People from Ireland today have this song sung to them regularly, I’ve seen a bunch in this very comment section. Not fair to say it’s “not an Irish song”, cause it’s just about as Irish as you want to make it.
@Talcum my ancestry is German as well but I’m not a German-American, if you look him up he is listed as an Irish-American, different than someone with an Irish heritage.
@Talcum Dude heritage and being an Irish-American are two different things, if you’re that stupid then I’m not having this argument
I'm crying. Beautiful and sollemn speaking about a mother you can't hear sing to you.
Not until my Momaw passed away did this song hit me like this.
Lovely Irish song
My dad used to sing this to me and then to children. So many great memories. Thanks Emmet.💚
I sing this my daughter still. She's 10. Sang it since she was a baby. As long as she asks I'll continue too.
Que linda canción, saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨❤️
Iam 83 my mother from Galway sang this song every night 😴😢
