Fureys lonesome boatman but me playing the air because I didn’t need a tin whistle

[@TheKatyc]

The heart of maggies farm . When all the animals come alive .

[@TheKatyc]

My grandad was the boatman in Mayo . That if he wasn’t the lonesome boatman, who feels the sea and birds, or feels a farm. Huh. You need to change this song into something warm and not an absolute twat song. Sorry

[@TheKatyc]

Indeed. The colour field . One of my fave songs

[@TheKatyc]

Always was into , the specials but sometimes need a twist .

[@yoda_squadstrophies9035]

Love this tune. They all seemed to be playing their own song, at the same time.

[@oleggorky906]

🤣

[@jeromenicolas4384]

That's "avant-garde" which sounds like a good concept!

[@pobbinista]

Sophisticated syncopation.

[@mrbosh0115]

Love the song ,Love this band ,It may be 30 plus years but christ it still gets me going.

[@ruthdixon7807]

it's 1981 and thatcherism is in full cry, so you can guess which maggie they didn't want to work for.

[@TheKatyc]

Well I’m glad your back lol. I’m just in the garden by myself like a freak doing an invisible tin whistle to the lonesome boatman by the furies , …and the birds are whistling along . I fell on you.

Great version of Dylan’s Maggie’s Farm.

Rage Against the Machine

[@oleggorky906]

@@balazsgrubanovits9598 This version has special meaning in the UK for people over fifty, due to being young in Margaret Thatcher’s time as Prime Minister in the eighties.
A few yuppies got rich but for other people their livelihood was ravaged when she butchered the coal, steel, ship building and printing industries, bringing mass unemployment and riots. Billy Bragg also did a version in this era and U2 did a live version; thus around about 20 years later the song had taken on a whole new lease of life as an ironic protest, and The Specials got it all going.
I’m sure that Rage would approve and I don’t dislike their version either. 😀

I wish my little daily hedgehog visitor likes being in the Queen of the Unicorns garden , listening to Maggies Farm.

I can just sea it. The Fureys playing the lonesome boatmen….the seagulls….the Japanese otters….and then….a whisper ….about maggies farm…..

[@rachelLadyD]

[@TheKatyc]

Yes yes . Omg . Then the base raises with the seagulls….

[@bernadettefeltham3062]

You will work on Maggie’s Farm till you drop dead.

Hi I'm

[@gianluca3574]

I like this version, it's better than dylan's original song. Sorry Bob!!

[@davehughes9448]

I dont know any Dylan covers that aren't.... Hendrix- All along the watchtower; Bryan Ferry - A hard Rain; Johnny Cash - It aint me Babe; Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man.

[@TheKatyc]

I think I’m amazing, but so did the people who wrote this song and it’s shit 🤣. Although I love the specials . Maybe they need a bit of uncirn n hedgehog n bible. Dunno. I’d love to say, no. This is a better be version,,with mermaids and mid jackets…a little bit warmer…like the tide…and seagulls…

[@Casey-Jones]

dreadful version of a great song

[@michaelwills6188]

always admired terry hall, but this is a very bad version.

[@professormushroom5456]

I like Bob Dylan and Terry Hall and in my opinion this is the best version
