My Dad's favourite singer of this ❤ we had Jim playing on a cd in the car always, he kept us company on journeys in the car going fishing and on the way home 🏡 xxx R.I.P.Daddy x
I know.the feeling. I have it on for a few hrs NOW!! But also listening to Christy Moore's version. Both are class and fair play to Jimmy. Brilliant song.👏👏👏👏
Just heard des Sheehan s version it smashed my heart with joy, so headed here to the songs creator.. brilliant song full of life.. take a bow Jimmy up the rebels and regards- from an instant dublin fan..
Couldn't agree more it would be great if this version was better known because it deserves more recognition. MacCarthy is still gigging, I heard this song live at the National Concert Hall in Dublin last summer and he's playing there again this March. Get those tickets while you can and you will be in for a treat
A wonderful song about Jack Doyle, the Gorgeous Gael and Irish heavyweight boxing contender. Married to the beautiful Movita, but died penniless and in the gutter. The song is breathtaking. Jimmy McCarthy is a national treasure and I can't wait to see him in NCH in March.
beautiful... i was brought up on jimmy maccarthy. it's a pity his versions of his most famous songs aren't here. wanted to hear him sing one bright blue rose etc.
jimmy is one of the finest songwriters this country has produced - pity his cd's are not available - a great tribute song to the late jack doyle - thanks for posting
Cottlers Row, where Doyle grew up, is no longer standing but the local Heritage Council in Cobh have, in the past few weeks, erected a stone monument in his honour by where the row of houses stood.
@terrysmate1 , Hi there , delighted to get your info on the concerts, thanks a ton, I plan to head to the portlaoise one .......really looking forward to it , thanks again, Barbara
I first heard this song being sang by Tommy Fleming about 6 years ago. Just heard Jimmy's version last year, the two versions of the song are fantastic
@Kalverweide28 , these are not available at present, I asked jimmy on a radio programme recently about his past catologues, his reply was it was hopes to issue in the future, still waiting....I check all sites at least once a week for any updates, will let you have details when i get same. regards
@jimmydeboy I agree this song is really beautiful. And also I search the Internet after cd's or DVD's of Jimmy MacCarthy. I only have his first album. And somewhere I wrote that there is a new album released in April 2010. Can someone tell me it is true. Also where can I buy his albusm ??
@Kalverweide28 .Hi the new album 'Hey Ho Believe ' was delayed . A new date of August 13 th was given but i still haven't found it in the shops . Hopefully it will be out soon.!

Yep, completely over-produced.Pity, I love the song but that's a cringeworthy version.He threw everything at it bar steel drums and 21 cannons,good man Jimmy !
Absolutely beyond doubt - this man is the greatest Irish songwriter who ever lived. And modest with it. May his music live forever.
I'm happy to agree with you dear friend :)
Most definitely one of the finest!! Brian Ireland Armagh 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎸🎸🎸
He's my dad's uncle I promise
I'm Irish and live in Kildare
My dad's dad is Rory MacCarthy
Jimmy Mac. That's what I call a songwriter.
The classiest ballad I've ever heard i my life as a musician.And the vocal is perfect!!!!
My Dad's favourite singer of this ❤ we had Jim playing on a cd in the car always, he kept us company on journeys in the car going fishing and on the way home 🏡 xxx R.I.P.Daddy x
Beautiful song, anyone who loves Jimmy should read his book “Ride On” fantastic little insights into his life and songs. One of Ireland’s great poets!
a beautiful song and a brilliant songwriter and a cork man to boot
And also about a corkman
I have to agree, but don't tell anyone because I'm a dub.
JImmy McCarthy, Thank you for your beautiful melodies, and especially your incredibly insightful lyrics...!!!
the most underated song writer of all time in ireland this song is a classic
Am irish cladsic
A wonderful song, and it tells the story as it unfolds. The imagery is so vivid, a classic. Legend Jimmy. Doubtcha boi.
It's as if Jack Doyle's spirit wrote this song through Jimmy mcCarty, I love its honesty and openness, only a rare talent could pen this song.
Heart rendering, beautiful, an epitaph to a Legend. The song takes one into the very soul of J.D........The song and rendition is epic
Such a beautiful and thought provoking song, can listen to it all day.
I know.the feeling. I have it on for a few hrs NOW!! But also listening to Christy Moore's version. Both are class and fair play to Jimmy. Brilliant song.👏👏👏👏
Love Jimmy's music and he's an amazing wordsmith

There is beauty in this sadness
Couldn't agree more it would be great if this version was better known because it deserves more recognition.

Simply BRILLIANT

A great song tastefully written and brutally honest, a story of multiple talents brought down by human frailty - what has changed!!!!
I think you're a bit of a poet yourself.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
our greatest writer
Beautiful song.
One of Jimmy's most beautiful and saddest songs Thanks for posting it.
Beautiful

I came from the Christy Moore version of this song and honestly I think I prefer this. Jimmy MacCarthy is golden.

Class Jimmy well done boy
Beautiful. I would love to hear David Gilmore sing and play this song.
paul mcgrath does a good job with this song. Beautifully written.
Christy Moore's is the best version
Definately. McGrath's version is my favourite.
Nobody can come close to him singing this ....pity it wasn't on Spotify
Brilliant song.

Spitting image of dev in the first pic!
The one and only Jimmy Mc.Carthy A songwriter supreme.......a poet .I would compare him with Don Mc.Clean.
Original version.
Oh I'm missing you, I would give for a flight

I love this song performed by Colm Keegan. Too bad it doesn't get its due.
