My Mom passed away three weeks ago today and in her youth this was her song to sing. I love you forever Mam and I will miss you always.

In 1999 I leaved my beautiful Country for many reason... I don't know my destination... I coming in Ireland after France, England etc. I was thinking to learning something & then back at home. I'm still here. I Love Ireland & the Irish People. And I think are the BEST in the World. To understand my point of view, need first to know about History, and after that, live here. GOD bless Ireland & the Irish. Thanks !!! Amen *

We buried my 80 year old friend a little while ago. This was played at the service. I will remember you forever Paddy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

Our dear Mom passed away on Good Friday. This is the song played at her funeral. RIP Mom, we love and miss you. 😔😞😔😞😔😞

What a GREAT SING for Crying in your beer or whiskey

Far too few accolades for Irish folk music and folklore. All based over 100 years ago and more. Absolutely genuine and gorgeous!

Jim Once Upon a Time used to play every Sunday night peppermint Grove Waterford part of Bridge Hotel, I often had a pint with him, Rip my friend what a great ballad singer 🙏

Jim McCann is my favourite male voice of ALL TIME. The storyteller in him speaks to me profoundly. R. I.P to the legend. 🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪

Wonderful song for a misty sunday in southern Germany. 😍😍

I love this music! From Brazil 🇧🇷

After struggling with paralysis for 5 years after a stroke my father at least got the peace he deserved. I was very glad they could play this song at his wake.

My sweet mothers song ' played it today for my birthday. Miss you mom 😍😍🎂🎁

Miss ya Jimmy and the Dubliners. You left a big empty place no one can fill ever!

Where I was raised as a child and entered adulthood to train as a Nurse in Belfast City Hospital to specialise in renal nursing and go on to spread my wings x love this song xxx

One of my very favourites ❤ but alwaysmakes me teary x

The most beautiful and saddest of songs. Rest in peace Jim McCann.

One of the most heart touching songs ever !! Thank you Dubliners and Jim RIP !!

I’m proud to be Irish ☘️

Absolutely beautiful song R.I.P. Jim Mc Cann💞🙏

RIP Jim. I saw him many times back in the 70’s in Dublin. One of the best.

What a beautiful song and great singer .

My nan passed away this morning. She was originally from county Claire. This song just came on. Love you nan ❤️

Brilliantly sung by Jim

Beautiful, powerful and tender. ❤️

I knew Jimmy in the 1980s. That was long before cancer stole his beautiful voice, and took him away. RIP Jim.

What a loss , he sang from the heart , to all his family & friends my deepest sympathies. T

Amazing voice 😁

big respect to jimmy, paddy, luke, barney, ciaran and ronnie

OMG wish I could have heard this live...... this is IRELAND as I remember it. Love from Germany Renate

Just beautiful.

Miss you Jim & the wonderful Dubliners ❤ they just don't make them like you anymore 😢

I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean Only for nights in Ballygrand But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over And neither have I the wings to fly I wish I had a handsome boatsman To ferry me over my love and I My childhood days bring back sad reflections Of happy times there spent so long ago My boyhood friends and my own relations Have all past on now with the melting snow So I'll spend my days in this endless roving Soft is the grass and shore, my bed is free Oh to be home now in carrickfergus On the long rode down to the salty sea Now in Kilkenny it is reported On marble stone there as black as ink With gold and silver I would support her But I'll sing no more now til I get a drink Cause I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town Ah but I'm sick now my days are number Come all me young men and lay me down Come all me young men and lay me down.

Absolutely brilliant song I'm sure a lot of people could relate to it

'Tis a beautiful song for a beautiful place. Whenever I hear it, I remember a certain tiny black-haired woman who gently brought enormous changes into my life.

This man sings carrickfergus the best.

That little smile at 2:07 always gets me. I’m not familiar with the members of this group, but seeing the singer acknowledging his friend’s banjo playing, even with just a quick wry smile, is like seeing his youth come back, if only for a moment.

For my older self....cheers Mr S you are a true gent at heart. A braver man I've never met..

Great song Jim McCann Rip, many a Sunday night I had a drink with you in the Peppermint Grove in Waterford City, back then I didn't realise how much of Legends you were. 👍

Only the Irish are able to create such wonderful and heart touching songs !!! Love from Germany.

Greetings to Ireland from a Fan in Germany !!! God bless you all and your music coming deep out of the heart !

Have all passed on now like the melting snow. What a line. Every line though is beauty full. Makes me cry like an eejit.

Such a Beautiful Song ❤ sung with Deep Feeling ❤

Love it as I love Ireland !! From Germany Jim RIP adore you !

Haunting Beautiful always brings a lump to my throat and a tear in my eye 🌹

One of my all time favorite Irish song! ☘🍀☘

Why are there no comments on this song...Beautiful Jim..Just Beautiful..

Simply incredible.Pure genius.One of the greatest recordings of all time.

Fucking Beautifull Jim Remember 1999 you invite me and my wife to your concert in Uden Holland. Thanks mate R.I.P

What a lovely wee tune and gran😮d lyrics mandolin sweetly played beautifully arranged and sang/ I wish i was in the old days when I knew what was what everything has changed beyond recognition the world has changed for the worse and the vibe I pick up is one of paranoia and stress, and i never hear the sound of music coming out of a home do they know how to play and let their hair down well i hope they do and it's just me not noticing it be good to each other and to yourselves God bless

God bless you Jim, a national treasure RIP

Beautiful

Got curious after listening to Ed Sherran's Galway girl. Love the sound of the lonely guitar.

One for my mate Big Man Steve...never forget your memories pal.

May you be in peace now Jim McCann. You were the main stay for my learning over the years... And YOU have passed on your knowledge.. Well !!!

Rip Paul I’ve missed you every single day , you are with me always in my heart , thank you for being a great friend, we should have had longer together, I’ll never forget You ❤

My mums favorite song. Have a few drinks, sing this and I get so home sick!!

So incredibly beautiful!

This is just sooooooooooo beautiful!

Hear every day. Brings joy to my soul needing so bad .....

I miss jim he sang straight from the heart

I find it hard to believe that there are (at the time of writing) 48 dislikes for this video? I mean why? I bought the Dubliners album in the late 70's and I thought that this track was so beautiful, and still do. Thank you for the lovely music guys...

Still brings tears to my eyes. Oh so wonderful

By Jim can belt it out, simply beautiful, even though its quite a sad song.

I really like that one it was my favourite when I had cancer 😢

One of the best proper live albums you could buy. Great.

Jim...your a legend

My Irish heart swims the sea till I meet the emerald isles of Ireland 🌈 💚

Most wonderful voice in the world 👏👏👏👏👏

Magnificent Irish Bard

Beautiful version by Jim n Co. Gorgeous sad song. My daily dose of tears. Feck I had this morning. Might just OD on sad sad songs. Lonely girls sing sad sad songs. So sayeth Lucinda anyways. And she should know.

Stunning, aint been listening to much folk recently but it always has a spot in my heart where it can sway my emotions like the thrashing of the waves

Every day again and again ....... 😍😍😍

I love this song.

What of voice! Simply fantastic. John‘s fiddle-play is making the rest!

Haunting and beautiful like a broken heart conquered

You cannot beat the beautiful music of my friends in the beautiful isle of Ireland god bless you all John 😊

Love this song, it was a special with my husband. He taught me how much it ment to his friends, the words mean so very much. Wonderful song, respect to you guys who sang it.

Longing for beautiful Ireland .....

Was at a Marie Curie night in a school in Belfast and the scho choir sang this, it was fabulous, thanks Marie Curie for all you do

MY HEART IS IN IRELAND

Jim McCann sings the definitive version of this oh so wonderful Irish ballad.

Great version!!!!!! So moved by this I'm calling to the bartender "Give me the entire bottle of whisky."

Ever and ever again ....... love from germany ❤

This is a fabulous version. ❤❤❤❤❤

Jim McCann , not just a wonderful balladeer and musician, but a man of extraordinary intellect, an avid reader and above all a beautiful man, a soft spoken giant , a loving humble friend. Phyl , his loving wife cared for him in the several years of need , she worked in Ranelagh D6 for many years , sadly passed from cancer around April 2018. Sometimes we are lucky to meet our hero, but it was more, I was lucky and fulfilled to know them both ❤️❤️🙏

Bloody spine tingling

There a great scene in Boardwalk Empire where this song plays as a bunch of vignettes are playing. It’s wonderful
