A Croft. open piece of Land in The Inner City?
The best version of this song is the one on the vanishingly rare original cast album of Wait a Minim! - hands down-
Great singing
Nothing to do about Ireland it’s a song about Salford Manchester
Ewan wrote this in memory of the schoolboys from my home town Croydon, who were killed in the 1961 Holtaheia Vickers Viking crash in Stavanger Norway. Only a young girl then, but remember the incident vividly. A haunting song.
I'm sorry, but Holtaheia is not located in Stavanger, but in Strand municipality.
It’s a great shame that Ewan Bowed to Salford councils plea that he changed the lyric from smelt the spring on a “Salford wind” to “sulphur wind” The original lyric is always sang by Rod Stewart among others.
Who are the 9 people who did not like this?
Clay Phillips The purist’s who appreciate the original lyrics and meaning perhaps
The words are wrong.
I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm going to make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town
'Croft', not 'wall'. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Spider A Croft in Salford parlance is a piece of derelict waste ground and that true meaning doesn’t seem to travel very far.
Ewan = Genius
you would'nt be hearing this on red fm
One of my favorite Irish tunes and one of my favorite singers. I will account for a large number of views.
+Dan Walker This is probably my favourite folk song, even though it actually isn't Irish :P. This is a good rendition by Steve Earle though
+Cameron Kirby Thanks for the info.
It isn’t really Irish . Written by Ewan McCall about Salford/Manchester , where I grew up.
Incognito........Salford is a city...Get it right
It is an English song.
rite on Mr Steve Earle nice version... a fan must his part in this song done bye a Grammy Award artist!!!!!!
Only thing is the original words by Ewan MacColl were , I found my love by the gasworks croft so ultimately a tribute should be his words not the words the multiple Irish artists use. Just sayin :)
sparky276 It’s a song about Salford taken from a play. Rod Stewart always sings the original lyrics.
Brilliant!
Love it!
this is fuckin beautiful
Wonderful cover!
I met my love en I kissed my girl off the bus station dirty ole town.
perfect x
omg Bombay ;-;
Couldn't have been done better - solo, harmonies, accompaniment, concentration, the whole thing ... perfect. Ewan MacColl would have loved it.
stunnning
How does this have this many dislikes? Absolutely moving song.
Because genuine music lovers listen to things they haven't heard before and may not like what they hear and mark accordingly unlike the majority of simpletons who only listen to what they are familiar with and know and are bound to like and give "likes" like sheep. You show both intolerance and ignorance by your petulant tizzy at those who don't share your tastes.
this is a beautiful tribute, is Jaime doing the backing vocals? never heard him sing this well! if you guys ever get a blue period i'm assured a wonderful album will come out
Wow that was amazing
Wow what is this? I love this song. 😦
Heartbreaking.
+Raquel Bovee & Aaron Crk!!!!!!
Wow! Haunting, absolutely haunting.
so happy to have found this!!! beautiful
