I was fortunate enough to attend Austin City Limits “songwriter’s circle” featuring Emmylou Harris, Patti Griffin, Bud and Julie Miller, Dave Matthews, and a brief appearance by Mary Black. What an amazing night!

One of my absolute favourite songs of all time. Of any genre. When you consider the death rate and poverty at the time Foster wrote this song it takes on a profoundly more moving impact. It’s no coincidence that this “sounds Irish”- Foster’s heritage (and musical heritage) was from Ulster.

I first heard this on the TV program Bringing It All Back Home. They performed it in New York with Afro-American musicians. It blew me away!

Very nice, girls. I was born and grew up in Pittsburgh, as Stephen Foster did. In grade school, the 1950's, our music teacher, Miss Frank loved Foster and played his songs on the piano. We would sing along. Foster was very special.

One of my favorite De Dannan songs by 2 of my favorite singers. If anyone didnt know Frankie Gavin is suffering from throat cancer, there's a crowdfund appeal going to raise money for a special op.

I know what you're saying but it's not just Ireland that God can save now. I've spent most of my life away from Ireland and I can assure you that the whole of Western Civilization is in trouble.Thank God for songs and singers like Mary Black and Delores Keane ,they make life a little better when I listen to them.There is also a KZfaq video with both of them singing with Emmy Lou Harris,if you haven't watched it before you should because I think you'd love it ! All the best to you from the USA 💚✝️

Powerful performance. Learn the words. It's a sigh that is wafted across the trouble waves. It's a wail that's heard upon the shore.

It is indeed a beautiful version. I actually like most versions out there, including one by the late Tom Roush, who sang many of Stephen Foster’s songs so well. RIP Tom.

The late Eighties and early Nineties-when Mary Black was at the very peak of physical beauty. I’m still spellbound by her looks then. Those eyes! I realize this isn’t related to music, but hey, I’m human. But yes, both singers are spectacular.

The definitive versions of this classic are both the album and "live" recordings of Mary, Dolores and DeDanannn, as illustrated here.

I think 'Catherine' Lavelle should read Caroline, very well-known cellist who worked with Mary on the No Frontiers album and later with the Indigo Girls on their 2000 tour.
