My friend Noel and I met Christy Moore at the Farmgate in Cork City, it's a small restaurant inside a big open market. We went over to tell him how much we had enjoyed his show the night before. He was very gracious and asked us to join him. We must have talked for two hours before he had to leave. That was many years ago. To this day whenever he sees me, maybe once every year or 2, he makes it a point to come over and say hello. He always remembers my name. A true class act and a gentleman.
I haven't listened to this song for about 4 years because it back memories that make me cry. 5 years ago we had a horrible fire blaze at the horse stables. We lost 3 horses and a dog. That night after the fire i drove in the car to the caravan where i had to live (the house i was living in burnt down as well) I couldn't stop crying when i listened to this song because my favourite horse that died was 16.1 and i kept looking at the place where he used to lie with teardrops in my eyes.
ABSOLUTE SPITZENKLASSE !! Ein sehr gefühlvolles Lied ......allerbest !! Jedes mal , wenn ich das Lied höre , schließe ich meine Augen .... und irgendwie taucht dann so ein EDLES PFERD mit einer HÜBSCHEN REITERIN auf ! Phantastisch !!! Viele liebe Grüße AN ALLE Franky Boy
The thumbs down-people are simply without braín.....Britney Spears-fans.... We say also "Vollpfosten"...for this persons with no idea what GOOD music IS ! This tune is amazing and wunderbar ! Christy Moore solo or here with a trio and with Planxty- always Superb!!! Thanks for upload this jewel, B.L.,Germany
Just love his speaking voice and his singing voice even more wow.. this guy is heaven on earth!!!!!! So much emotion and feeling in his words.. a treasure for sure!
My favourite song. Those who don't get it, don't understand the simplicity of life. An Irish song (well done Jimmy!) that holds a lot of emotion and feelings for the average person. Saw Christy a couple if times and left each concert with goosebumps! Haunting and true to the layman. No need for do called 'music critics' to comment. Simplicity is what made it such a beautiful song to many. If you don't understand it, then move on. Too many people these days try to ruin simplicity with their drama
Christy is so right about this song, it has very sad, emotional connections for me, to do with lost love, and it seems from other comments that it touches nearly everyone who hears it.
Geo Martin WTF? Your god is way too busy with all the people in the US requesting "God bless America". Google: george carlin god bless america. He puts it perfectly.
Yes indeed! Love from Yorkshire every time! Our history is entwined....😌🙃 x x x thank you so much for your contribution to healing humanity Ireland’s artists!! X x x
True, you ride the finest horse I've ever seen Standing sixteen, one or two, with eyes wild and green You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to Ride on, see you I could never go with you No matter how I wanted to Ride on, see you I could never go with you No matter how I wanted to When you ride into the night without a trace behind Run your claw along my gut, one last time I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie And look for a spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye Ride on, see you I could never go with you No matter how I wanted to Ride on, see you I could never go with you No matter how I wanted to
was actually my nannys favourite song when she was here, this song really makes you think she passed away when she was 54 i was 10 she loved me more than anyone ever could. thins song makes me cry and wish she was still here.
This is a beautiful, enchanting song. I cannot formulate any other words to describe it with, for my vocabulary is not vast enough to describe this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG! Ride on...green eyed woman! Christy your voice is so smooth and soothing...makes one want to stay, with these lyrics it makes it even sadder still...tear drop in my eye! Love lost...but had to be! Ride on Pixie Queeen!!!!
Thanks again Christy for dedicating this song at one of your Vicar Street concerts to my uncle Willie Burke who won the Irish Derby in 1964. Great memories of that night.
For me top three performers that I ever saw. Christy Moore, Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen. They give their all and are not afraid to sing about topics that others would be afraid of. Christy was nearly jailed for singing about Stardust. Paul was arrested for performing in South Africa. Bruce has been fined in the past for performing too long at a gig.
This song was written by Jimmy MacCarthy, but Christy does the best version of it i have heard. Guy is a legend. Cant wait to see hi in Ireland next year :-)
The first time I hear this song was on a busker-festival in my home-town. A musican called Lawrence sing ride on...since this time I love to this song. 2 years later I sing Ride on with him together on stage (backround) in a Irish-Pub. Évery time when I listen or sing, my heart is burning and I have teardrops in my green eyes. Christy Moore is one of the best singer I ever heard. Mbaineann mo chroí go hÉirinn
In Dublin 30yrs ago I met this beautiful girl from Kinvara, Co Galway. Now living in US this song still breaks my heart thinking of her. Agatha McC......
what a version , Christy an D at their best , don't know who's on keyboards [sorry] but everything goin on has a place just mad to play it again , another Jimmy Mc' classic , Christy an Mary B should put an album together " Songs of Jimmy M'C" , thanks for posting this
I think it's true what they're saying at the beginning of this movie. Everyone can find his or her own story included in this song. Although I listen to alternative or progressive metal, mostly, I find myself absolutly drowned in this thing. Thanks for uploading.
a small island that puts out SUCH good music. many places are like that. Dominican Republic too. 10 million people or so and many genres all to themselves.
That's the sign of a song with great lyrics. There are many ways you can interpret it, and that's partly why it's so haunting and mysterious. Personally I like to think of the horse as death.

Waw. Tell him that he has fans from all over the world.
He is a great Irishman

What a legend! To go to an Christy Moore concert in Ireland, that's the goal I'm aiming for. Greetings from Moscow, Russia.
I've seen Christy live about five times both in Ireland and UK. Loved every second.
You just have to close your eyes and smile, it's such a beautifully written song.
Performed perfectly as well
My ex funeral song😭😭
Such a beauty of a song. Speaks right to the heart, and doesn't let it go. A masterpiece from my namesake.
This song is so beautiful. Listening to Christy is pure heaven his voice is so gorgeous.
Try RAPALJE VERSION its good and RABELJA VERSION.
To me, this is above all, the most beautiful song of " Saying Farewell " ...
ABSOLUTE SPITZENKLASSE !!

I´m so in love with this song and my beloved Ireland. Keep the memories forever! :')

True, you ride the finest horse I've ever seen
Standing sixteen, one or two, with eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie
And look for a spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Thanks
Thanks for the text!

God truly loves Ireland for giving us Christy, should have his own public holiday!
How it is possible for people to give this a thumbs down. Damn.

It's not the horse,it's the person riding it. Jimmy McCarthy has kept the subject a secret for over 20 years
The simple chords haunt me...thanks Christy...and as a former rider...love that image.
the message of this song give the power to ride on in these times
a small island that puts out SUCH good music. many places are like that. Dominican Republic too. 10 million people or so and many genres all to themselves.
this is my favourite song of all time :-)
A veritable masterpiece.
That's the sign of a song with great lyrics. There are many ways you can interpret it, and that's partly why it's so haunting and mysterious. Personally I like to think of the horse as death.
+Highgate Angel
It is indeed a song that can be heard different...so beautifull !!!!
I always thought it was about death, too.
That is what Christy Moore says about it: ruclips.net/video/E-z7M3FZv4E/видео.html
This is just wonderful
One of my favour song, just love it. just beautiful
My best friend. Ride on. I couldnt follow. But i will. When that time comes.
