    This is a full song from the New York concert in June 2008. Shane MacGowan wrote this song for The Clancy Brothers, which they sadly never recorded. This is Liam's first recording of it, live at The Bitter End.

    Shane is a living genius, a true wordsmith. Whatever that mystical talent is that Dylan, waits, Cohen and many more were born with Shane had it in abundance. Shane wrote this song for Liam and sent him a recording, gave the song to him. Liam couldn't understand the words so never sang it until years later they met in a bar in NYC and Shane scribbled the lyrics on a beer mat for Liam. As the story is told by Liams son.

    The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks
    There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
    You sang me a song as pure as the breeze
    Blowing up the road to Glenaveigh
    I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
    Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
    Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
    Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go
    Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
    Take my hand, forget your fears babe
    There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
    They're all gone, gone in the years babe
    I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
    Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
    Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
    And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
    And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
    There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
    For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
    About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
    So I walked as day was dawning
    Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
    Where we once watched the row boats landing
    By the broad majestic Shannon

    ok..... this isn't the official vid of The Broad Majestic Shannon, but I love this version :)
    Just notice he's changed the lyrics to mention Shane :) He has the same love for Shane MacGowan that everyone should

    Hard to credit that 18 months later he'd be gone. Irelands loss. We wont see his like again. Requiescat In Pace

    Well said fishf8z! Luckily, we know better.. Shane at his best is probably the best songwriter ever. Who else has wrote songs as mindblowingly beautiful as this? Shane MacGowan forever!
