The Clancy Brothers - John O Dreams free for downloading

anyone been at the Bay Area Renaissance Fair for pub sing?

nice song never heard it before..always something new learnt every day thaks for this

Beautiful... What more can I say?

Christy moore version is better

Best version

Sung here by Robbie O'Connell, his mother is a Clancy and he has appeared many times with various configurations of his uncles.

This very song is the last song Bobby and Liam committed to record years later. It is on a Cherish the Ladies CD, and the entire Clancy family....what was left of then....contributed. Paddy and Tom had already died. Liam's son, Donal, married one of the "Cherish" musicians. Bobby's son Finbar and daughter Aiofe also contributed. It capped a tremendous career of the brothers.

This doesn't sound like the Clancys at all.

is the tune from this a strauss waltz?

The melody is from Tschaikovsky's 6th Symphony, the "Pathetique."
