(Gemma Hasson)
Oh, me name is Dan Malone
I've no place to call me home.
I'm an outcast in the land that I was born in.
And I'm weary of the load
On this long and lonely road.
How I hate to face the sunlight in the morning.
Oh the land is rich and wide
But hunger walks beside.
I'm an outcast in this proud land that bore me.
My life is almost done
Amd my courage is all gone
For the long road that stretches out before me.
Then that day so long ago
I met Kitty from me home.
Fair of face, her voice forever charmed me.
But she couldn't bear the load
On this long and lonely road.
Now her grave lies unident' outside Killarny.
I have begged from time to time.
I have drunk the golden wine.
I've fought men and I've done my share of lovin'.
I've met wise men; I've met fools.
But we've always known the rules.
A tinker man must always be a movin'.
Ah but maybe one day soon
When the heather is in bloom,
I lay my head upon the scented clover.
A man can't always fight,
And so a long winter's night
I'll go to sleep; my troubles will be over.
Then remember Dan malone
As I lie here all alone
Remember me to this proud land that bore me.
I can sleep my time away
In six feet of pauper's clay,
No open road lay stretching out before me.
my mum would sing this song to me when i was a boy,its took me a long time to find it thanks 4 posting,
Absolutely Lovely. What a Gem of Ballad. Not one that you find everyday.
Such a wonderful upload. Thank you.
well done Gemma, a beaut. never will forget your terrific album.
gold bless the travellers

I always tel people Gemma has one of best voices I ever heard, sadly most I tel haven’t heard of her, but after they look her up and listen I’m sure they agree with me. Amazing voice Gemma 👌👌.
Super!
its from the early to mid 70's
I've never heard this one before. I like it.
I think I was Irish in a previous life - these songs always get to me. Thank you for posting this.
The album was called "The Best of Irish Folk Music", by Fiesta Music, in 1992, on LP. It has not to my knowledge been transferred to CD. Every song on it was near perfection.
I am the person you answered, and I thank you so much. I bought the LP with the lovely Irish songs I enjoyed back in the early 80's, so maybe not the same one, I listened constantly, and enjoyed them so much - Dan Malone, Galway Races, many others of that long ago LP. I so wish I could find the album you mentioned on CD. Know I would love it!
Many thanks to you for your kindness in responding..
Well my name actually is Dan Malone and I really enjoyed your rendition.
It's been awhile since there's a comment has been posted.
Great song; wonderful voice.
Here are what I think are lyrics corrections:
I met Katy from Mayo // Tinkerman - - - be a rovin' // Among the scented clover //
Remember ,too, . . . // no open roadway //. And a few others not worth mentioning.
Enjoy
Thanks - Joe

TheDiana- Any chance you are referring to Galloway Races? It was on the same album, and is posted as number 10 on this collection.
where you have unadent it should read 'on a hill'

aye sure come out ye black and tans is to the same tune as this
