My father years ago in manchester met tis lady by chance in a pub and he was ready to travel back home to ireland but wen my father sang tis song she tried her best to persuade him to stay..she followed him to the boat tryin to convince him to stay..i wudnt be here tellin tis story if he stayed but i love it..my dad is at deaths door as i write tis story and the moral of it all is ti singer and song..❤

I think I love all of Johnny's songs. I listen to him over and over. I would never get tired of his singing and good looks, even now.We are blessed to have you tube and the fine singers and musicians .

This song can put me to sleep with ease

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (June 7), we sang When Long before Time as the Hymn of the Day. It was written and composed to the tune THE SINGER AND THE SONG, by Peter W.A. Davison. The tune was arranged by George Black. It is #861 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Just thought I'd share.
