Ah, this version would make Michael Smith proud. He wrote this and it is his most beloved song. This version as well as one I heard by Jerry Jeff Walker years ago (on his 1992 Hill Country Rain CD) are two of my favorites ever. Thanks for sharing....
Probably the best Michael Smith song. I understand he had never been to The Netherlands when he wrote. At least that is what Steve Goodman said when he performed it on ACL
The author of this song is Michael Peter Smith, whose catalog I administer. It would be nice if you afforded him a credit in association with this clip. Thanks - DMZ, Bird Avenue Publishing-ASCAP
Whether it's Mike Smith, Liam Clancy, Steve Goodman, or Jerry Jeff Walker singing it, I'll second Ropey 11 that this Michael P. Smith composition is the best damned song ever written.
Liam Clancy does this song so beautifully , and the song itself is a pure gem . . . a true love story . George Lewis , Sr.
Yeah great version but check out Chris Kavanagh's version...his voice and interpretation are fantasic!!!!!
this reminds me of my parents shortly before my dad died. i can always see them when i hear it. and i always cry like a baby
We were all young when first we met at the Ash Grove in L. A. Thanks for the music and poetry Liam and Tommy. We miss you. Slan
