Raglan Road (Dick Gaughan)

I first heard this on Dick Gaughan's 1977 album Krist O' Gold. It doesn't seem to be available to buy these days which is a shame as I think it's his best, it is on CZcams though fortunately. I've tried to play some of his other songs but they're in Scots which makes then difficult to sing for English folk.
The words are from a poem "On Raglan Road" by Patrick Kavanagh and it's set to the traditional tune Fáinne Geal An Lae.

David, this fabulous song evokes much. The covers by Mark Knoffler, by Sinéad O’Conner, are legendary. And, thanks, because you too beautifully draw out the poetic emotions.

Thanks Peter! I've not head the Knopfler version, I will check it out.

Dubliners/Luke Kelly version is the gold standard
