Makem and Clancy - Red is the Rose 

I'm 75 and just discovered this. Heartbreaking. 11/10.

I know it's been over 13 years since you commented this and over 42 years since she died, but I'm very sorry for your loss. She was too young.

You loved greatly...grief is the price

Praying for you 🙏

Im so sorry...Jennifer will always be young, and will always be beautiful.

Fourteen years 😶‍🌫️

I couldn’t go without it

The Green Heart Will Never Be Broken

I miss my home and my late mother 😢

@@Fpstup you should come back to visit, for old times sake 😌 it'll always be your home, no matter where in the world you go.

It’s so sad we must lose such wonderful, talented human beings. I wish they could be with us forever. 🇮🇪☘️😔

Sentimental and beautiful

What a beautiful girl!

+Cindy Reed Im afraid thats an Irish thing Cindy !We are only happy when we are sad...we seem to crave this exquisite poignancy ,this perfect sense of loss is treasured more than any great victory Witness the Irish singing "The fields of Athenry" as we are hammered 4-0 by Spain

Did you get this one❤

WOW! YOU Sound like You are from Milwaukee or something? I've not only seen them MANY MANY Times at our Milwaukee Irish Fest, but My parents and I got to meet them at Irish Fest of 1983. I had JUST Graduated High School that year and Things were SO GOOD back then! Over the years I got to be friends with them and was ALWAYS Greeted with a Hug and Kiss and Smiles! The Year my Mom passed away... The Clancy Brothers and Tommy came to Irish Fest. My dad didn't want to go because he was in SO MUCH PAIN! But I said, "Dad... Mom would want us to go and have fun and remember her. SO this weekend is on ME! ALL OF IT! Food, Drinks EVERYTHING!" We also called my brother Kevin up and asked him to join us and to OUR Surprise he did! My brother is kind of "Stiff" when it comes to family stuff! Well when I said that he broke down and cried... but agreed. So we went. And as Always I had my Bodhran in hand and My Dad had a few of his FAV Harmonicas with him! My second oldest sister had died in August of 1985. So it was doubly painful that year! On the Saturday Night of Irish Fest, We ran into Liam and Tommy and they as I said greeted us with Hugs and Kisses and smiles. But then asked were mom was and we told them what happened with both her AND my sister, and both got very choked up! So They said, "Well then Lads... PLEASE Come and Join us and my brothers at the Park East Hotel tonight and we will Raise our Glasses and Voices to the their memory!" Well we couldn't refuse THAT Invitation! So we went... And JUST LIKE On an Album cover... THERE THEY WERE! In a Snug in the corner of the "Piano Bar Floor" and when Liam saw us he Invited us over and Introduced us to Pat and Big Tom Clancy! And in no time at all... it was like being with family! We were Singing and Playing and drinking and laughing and crying and doing it over and over again! It was an AMAZING NIGHT! We Sang and Drank and Played until about... 2 or 3 in the morning. When the glasses were almost empty and everyone was tired... I had my glass still half full of Guinness and I stood up on a chair and said a toast to my Mom and my two sisters who were gone. Then I started to sing "Will Ye Go Lassie Go" and then Finished with "The Parting Glass"! It was the PERFECT ENDING to a PERFECT NIGHT! So we said our good byes and looked forward to seeing them the next day at their shows and for the "Scattering"! Well... seeing as I drank MUCH Less then my Dad or brother did, I drove us home, and the entire way home they BOTH couldn't stop thanking me for the "good idea of going". That was a BEYOND INCREDIBLE Night as I had grown up with The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and My Dad and I would play their albums Not JUST On St. Patrick's Day but other times too. And until My Dad discovered The Chieftains and other Great Traditional Celtic Music THAT WAS "IRISH MUSIC" in our house! It was ONLY JUST Before "Irish Fest" started in 1981 that we had our "Irish Music" culture expanded and thankfully it has continued since! But THESE LADS... Will NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN!!! EVER!!! UP THE REPUBLIC!!! Slante. Joe Connolly Jefferson, Wisconsin

Consider yourself blessed for seeing them perform in person. Some of us haven’t been so lucky 😢

Bob Dylan held Liam Clancy in high regard as a singer of ballads, and as a nine string guitar player, so you are in good company and your views are entirely valid.

yes... as I do EVERY TIME i hear it and sing it! :(

So true god bless you all

I've gotta tell my sister that this is my funeral dirge

My sincere condolences dear friend on the loss of your beloved Patti. 🙏😔💔

Thats great :)

My father died 2 October 2009 and mother dear on 23 December only three months later. I had 'Danny Boy' played at his funeral and 'I'll take You Home Again Kathleen at mother's. I personally placed both of my dear parents in their body bags and zipped them closed, with thanks. My job, nobody else's. I think of them still, everyday. Mother's name was also Joan. Irish songs - bittersweet. Liam evokes so many memories of my father and uncles, and their patient and loving wives. Say no more.

Yeah we sang Danny boy for my Grandads funeral, i cant hold back the tears when i hear it, its great to be happy, but theres nothing wrong with crying for someone you love.

Ah, lovely. I agree!

Casey McGrath Thanks for sharing! Very poignant and beautiful. What part of Ireland are you/your ancestors from? My one unfulfilled dream before I die is to travel to Kerry (Oyster Bed in Sneem) and Mayo Ireland and walk on my ancestors land, and sing and be with the land and water there!

Yep! Me too! Both my parents and all three sisters are gone. This music just kills me. :(

@@j.s.connolly8579 nice reply I still get emotional listening to Liams beautiful voice My dad looked a bit like Liam we used to joke about it Happy times Dermot

My grandads favourite song played at his funeral and we still play it to this day at his grave

Daddy mummy

I may be the only one thinking this, but that is one of the most poetic things anyone can say about Ireland and Scotland really. It really does say what Ireland and Scotland are... They are the same tune, but the lyrics are vastly different.

Amen to that

Polish girls are beautiful:)

+Cindy Reed and so are you

Great music

Chas. Baird rest in peace 🙏

Chas. Baird Oh dear. Beyond words.

Me too and I’m not even Irish!! ☘️♥️☘️😃☘️♥️☘️

Jimi hendrix all along

Bing was the best,of them all

um . . . aisle

@@genejackson110 With a name like that she probably left him at the Altar

Not that I agree with them, but some Scots object to this (originally Scottish) version of "The Bonnie Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". I personally find the Irish lyrics much more touching.

There's no accounting for taste or the lack of it.

No bloody taste that’s why. Richard Dennehy

Guess some people have no taste, Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem are Irish legends.

She might not be so fresh looking these days.
