A beautiful rendition of a fureys classic amazing vocals and banjo, and the young ladys smile is truly heaven sent , no make up just natural innocent beauty....heart melting .
Beautiful, faithful rendition of the Furey's version. I had the privilege to hear Finbar play this with banjo and accompanied by guitar. One of those music memories that will stay with me forever as it's been a favourite of mine for over 30 years.
A beautiful version of the fureys song Played it at my wedding for my special lady still brings a tear to my eyes. The young lady is so naturally attractive it reminds me of what young women used to look like in the seventies.
I was crying because we should of been going to Ireland we go every year but this year was a special on we just love Ireland 🇮🇪 love everything about the place the people music 🎧 the horrible virus 🦠 so sad 😞 hope next year we really want to come .sad people .🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🎧🎧☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🌹
My gran used to sing this many many years ago . I was only a young girl and I am now 66yrs old myself.i it has always brought me happy memories but also always brings a tear to my eyes
My boyfriend and I are from Quebec, and we both have a huge Irish and Scottish ancestry history. No, not just stories but dna proved also! :) Anyways, what are the odds we got together with the same background in a sea of french people right? We just want to visit Newfoundland and Nova Scotia so bad. I would love to hang out in a pub and listen to your local bands. xx
@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo The composer was James Thornton he was of Irish American descent and I would suggest to you that their is more Irish in his composition than American!! The jury is out on his place of birth Dublin/ Liverpool!!
@@charlesduguid4811 Thornton, that's a very English name, the style is that of turn of the century British and American ballads just like the song 'Danny Boy' written by an Englishman in England.
@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo Sorry!! Danny boy was written by Johnnie Cash . Thornton was born possibly in Liverpool which to this day has a large population of Irish decent. Can you give me a correct version of a " British" / American ballad?
@@charlesduguid4811 Danny boy written by Johnny Cash, ha, ha, ha, look it up, of the top of my head ' Sam Hall' 'Barbara Allen', most of the ballads written in Britain were also popular in America.
@@mickoleary7488 actually he was born in either Dublin or Liverpool, no one is sure, he emigrated with his family in 1869 and became an American citizen in 1931
gerard mcveigh I always thought Scotland and her people, and the Irish, and Ireland, north and south are as good as it can get. Flawed yes, some massive conundrums, but thats life.Gaelic/Celtic culture is so influential world. Now I'm old and hopes for future can crumble. I want to say, Edinbugh's a dump, with a union flag topping the castle, but I dont want to hurt their feeling. Money and its culture, rule things now, always did, chuck in the MSM. The world. Thanks for you comment. Finbar Furey, Dougie Mclean, Robbie Burns still a great way to pass the time. I used to think Edinburgh was beautiful and as Scotlands capital more than a pile of bricks, seems I'm wrong.
gerard mcveigh I sadly, share your fears. My mum was Irish as were her parents. That makes me half Irish, half Scot that way round, even though I was born in Scotland. The Irish are a huge powerful diaspora, the true Irish are formidable and certainly not defeated yet. Though time and tide, may not be on Irelands side at the moment time and tide can turn. The internationalists have not won. Not yet
Fantastic voice Omg Could listen forever That may be better than the fureys That's hard to imagine but that's a brilliant version From the vocals to the music Nice banjo

Played at my brother Sam,s funeral last week, waterworks for many days later. So beautiful, thank you to his favourite band the Whistling Donkeys.
Amazing. I grew up with my Dad playing this song, and this is the best version. Thank you.
Love the way they respect the Furies song by not changing the arrangement but simply updating it. That's class 🎀
This is their own version, and far better than the Furies version...
We played this song today at my mum’s funeral. Goodbye beautiful mum ❤️
❤❤
Brilliant version, and what a beautiful girl, the whole thing made me cry.
As a big fan of Finbar I salute Fergal’s version of this classic song.
His voice is amazing and heartfelt,
Great band too.
One of the finest odes to love lost that I have ever heard...
takes me back 40yrs when met my late wife , great song ty
Great version That guy has a really good voice, he can sing anything and the band are fantastic , Thanks for sharing ,
Very, very good. A band to take over the mantle of the Dubliners and the Fureys - these guys are talented!
Fabulous rendition of a beautiful song I love the banjo excellent thank you
An absolutely mesmerising version of this song with the very, very beautiful young lady bringing home the sentiment of the song. Brilliant xxx
Having seen the Furey's many times live this is a fabulous cover!
Saw the Furey's singing this live in 1981 in Cobh when I was 19...takes me right back 😊

Me too. God bless you
Your voice is unique...
Love it. Sounds Awesome and sweet. Thanks again. From NM.
Amazing rendition. His voice is wonderful.
Much older than the Fureys. Written by James Thornton and first published in 1898. First hit the charts at #3 in 1901, sung by Harry Macdonough.
Thank you, I didn't know they had charts back then....
@@sherp2u1 Yes, for sheet music, rather than recordings at that point.

Love this version! Well done lads!!
Peace, Love, and Happiness from Black Mtn. N.C. USA ... this made my heart warm, and my eyes ... watery! Thank you for you music.
I have the version by Davy Arthur and the Fureys from years n years ago this is so close. Excellent. 👌👌
The Fureys must be pleased that their legacy lives on. A very fine voice, accompanied by fine musicians - what's not to like? Thanks.
The Fureys version was a cover...! The song was written in 1898, and first recorded in 1900!
Absolutely genial! Vocal and instrumental alike! I will start planning a visit to Ireland, the country of genial music!
My love for the donkeys grows ever deeper
This was written by James Thornton in 1898 and is still very popular today
Excellent...and what a very pretty lass!
She can have my children any time she's gorgeous 😃
The whole thing is beautiful. Well done you Paddy’s. From a Welsh singer.
It some times seems that everyone in Ireland is either a great musician or a great singer ! Love the banjo here
Wish we were better fighters, but I'll take better singers and writers.At least the pen and the song do its own magic.
Or a poet!
a really fine cover and a beautiful lady
Brilliant love that song and you sing it amazing just like the fury’s .
This is a wonderful cover of the Furey's song , I will watch this often as I do with Finbar Furey and his band.
It is not a Fureys song. It was written by James Thornton , an American in 1898
Bob W Al Jolson sang it years ago
@@mickoleary7488 actually he was born in either Dublin or Liverpool, no one is sure, he emigrated with his family in 1869 and became an American citizen in 1931
Beautiful, gets me every time 😓❣
A beautiful song done by the Mills Brothers so long ago and done so well here.

Is right, James. But so many people think it is a Fureys original!
