A beautiful song no matter how you look at it. That was an interesting piece of history about Sigerson Clifford, thanks Martin. I wonder if he new Flann oBrien. Actually on one of the Christy Moore albums that I have, as Christy is introducing this particular song he says "I new three men who sang this song and all of them are dead, I'd like to sing it now." Whereupon the audience errupts with laughter as Christy realizes what he just said. Den
