    I usually just listen tp Cajun music, most other music these days is pure trash, but the amazing Fureys and some other Irish bands, I listen to for many hours and find so unbelievably strong and moving. These sounds will still be listened to and appreciated, when so called superstars are long forgotten!

    cblemcallister is correct. Eric Bogle came from near Peebles in the Scottish Borders and emigrated to Australia when in his mid 20s. The song is about him leaving his mother behind. When he got to Australia his songwriting developed and he also wrote "And The Band Played Waltzin Matilda" as well as "No Man's Land". Irish performers often incorrectly call the latter song "Green Fields Of France" or "Willie Mcbride"

    In comes the train and the whole platform shakes
    It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes
    The parting has come and my weary soul aches
    I'm leaving my Nancy, oh
    But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay
    You talk of the weather and events of the day
    And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh
    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows
    My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train
    And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain
    The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain
    I'm leaving my Nancy, oh
    But you stand there beside me so lovely to see
    The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea
    You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh
    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows
    But our time has run out and the whistle has blown
    Here I must leave you standing alone
    We had so little time and now the time's gone
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh
    And as the train starts gently to roll
    And as I lean out to wave and to call
    I see the first tears trickle and fall
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh
    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows

    Memories of a million years ago (it feels like) at the Auld Shebeen in Moate watching them live.
