Mrs. McGrath-Tommy Makem and Pete Seeger

1994. With Pete's grandson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.

Fun fact: the young gentleman on the left playing the bodhran is Pete Seeger's grandson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.

I'm a McGrath & it's nice to hear the name pronounced properly....whereas Bruce Springsteen's version doesn't....ok!..bit pedantic...but!

Fabulous version. Clear words which make the history and point of the song clear. This and the burl version are the best.

[@tonycarton8054]

the song writtten from a mothers viewpoint in a peripheral matter of fact way ,which makes the writing so potent

[@petternilsson4393]

Its a pleasure to see legends sing together..

Love this version

[@dogman8436]

One of the best anti-war songs sung perfectly. Burl Ives also sang it well.

My dad played a version of this called Biddy McGrath here in Newfoundland, all of her body parts were detachable. Not sure where it came from n that from. Great song
