I heard Sean Cannon Sing this Song last year in Germany. He is in his mid eighties today. Still it was an absolute unique performance! In this Song his Legacy will live forever! God bless him and all members of the Dubliners!

Love Seans voice on this one. My favourite version, and considering Luke also sang this, that's high praise indeed for Sean.
