I find it very hard to sing this song,memories of trying to teach my friend Tony the lyrics come flooding back, as he died within that year, and just like Nancy, the tears start quivering within my eyes,

A very moving song by the Fureys . The original is by Eric Bogle(from Scotland - lives in Australia)who's really got a great voice too.

music plays an important part in our lives. I took great solice from the words of Moonlight Shadow "See you in heaven one day, see you in heaven far away" in 1983 as my mother was spending her last days with us

@Dennistoundenizen I didn't realize there was a train from Scotland to Australia. Good to know!

Odd how such an old song's sentiments are again becoming prevalent with this country's finest having to leave their homes because of the bunglings of those in power..................... just a thought.

The song has nothing to do with Ireland. It's a Scottish song. I was at a big Eric Bogle concert in Glasgow a few weeks ago and he told the audience how he wrote this song after bidding goodbye to his mother Nancy on the railway platform when he was emigrating from Scotland to Australia in 1969. They thought they might well never meet again, Australia being so much further away in those days than it is now. His mother managed to keep the tears back until the train started pulling away.

A great song by the Scottish/Australian song writer singer Eric Bogle. It was the great Irish group The Furey's who made it what it is. Either way you can't beat the Celts.

Who cares WHO wrote WHAT,? Idiots,!! By that logic,should nobody else sing Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards,? Or nobody else play Mozart,Strauss,Beethoven,? If it's well sung/played/performed,just ENJOY.
