Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company. And of all the harm that ere I've done, alas was done to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall. So fill me to the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all.Of all the comrades that ere I had, they're sorry for my going away, And of all the sweethearts that ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay, But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise while you should not, I will gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!"Oh, if I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town that sorely has my heart beguiled Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips, she alone has my heart in thrall. So fill me to the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all.

There are no words powerful enough for these two great men. Those guys up there are the greatest that ever did it. There will NEVER be anything better. Makem and Liam just belted it out and those voices will carry on this Earth forever. They find dimentions of ourselves for us we'd never find without them. Or atleat we might never see it so clearly. Sometimes I hate them for it. Then I go back to pretending that men such as myself never cry. But if that were true I guess we'd never laugh either.

This traditional Celtic songs (with lyrics that first appeared in Scotland and played to the music of a traditional Celtic fiddle tune originating who knows where) was re-popularized by the Clancy Brothers about sixty years ago and since then has of course been a standard everywhere. But the Clancy Brothers version with Liam Clancy singing the lead still has never been topped. Liam had the best tenor type voice for a folk singer I ever heard (Luke Kelly was the closest to him) and the version the Clancy Brothers did with Liam singing the lead was perfect. He always stayed true to that version whenever he performed it subsequently.

Thanx! Heard there's to be a Clancy Bros. festival there with new Clancy blood as well as others performing. I guess it's an anual thing so I hope there's never a need for you to miss it. I had the pleasure of seeing T. Makem perform with his son Rory in Philadelphia, 2006- the year before he passed. Great venue. I'd been hearing that man's voice sing Butcher Boy since before I was born so this was some experience. But such strength couldn't be much less moving had I never heard of him. Cheers!

They could have been big here in England but sadly we'd hardly heard of them, probably because they were based mainly in America and Ireland. By contrast, Val Doonican, The Dubliners, the Chieftains, the Fureys and Michael Flatley were all very big here.

+Tungsten Kid The Clancys were great, but they might have pitched their music a little too exactly at the American market. More of the twinkly-eyed Irish sentiment about them, than the likes of the Dubliners or the Fureys, who had a working class hardness about them that probably frightened off the misty-eyed Yanks. Fair play to Britain to have the Dubliners topping their charts a few times. They obviously 'got it'!
