Robbie would tell the story of (I think I recall correctly) how the verses were found in a letter from Michael Considine in a local cottage during a renovation in the 40s or 50s. Christy Moore's version is based on this version, collected when Christy was working in Tulla and going to sessions in the area Robbie had the full original words, and the respect of anybody who heard him!
I have only discovered the poem this morning and I am pretty starstruck by it. I would like to experience Spancil Hill just as the author did, 150 years ago. Does anyone know whether or not Spancil Hill is easily accessible for tourists? Is there a lot to do there?
A Stór Mo Chroí sung by Robbie is my favourite version of that haunting song of separation.
I can’t stop listening. This is my favourite song. What a beautiful person.
One of the greats. Go raibh maith agat for commenting!

Robbie was well-known for having the full, and original, words.

it is twenty minutes from an international airport and five minutes from Ennis town so yes very accessible, no there is nothing to do there!
@@KrissKross45 thank you very much for your reply! I'm planning to visit Ireland next summer and I'd love to stop by Spancil Hill
