My late mum, who passed away at the end of November, came from Cavan and knew Ballyjamesduffm used to sing this in the last years of her life. I can't listen to it without thinking of her.
For years I thought that Paddy Reilly was a fictional character and it is lovely to know that he has descendants So you must know where he went after he left Ballyjamesduff . My deceased father John Francis O'Reilly was born in 1914 at Farragh just outside Ballyjamesduff I still have a cousin living there Slainte
@@seanoreilly3806 we think he went to scotland for a time but came back and married had 5 children my mums dad peter was his son he is buried in the old cemetery on chapel rd
Not only because my ancestors came across the Mull to Scotland from Ireland do I love these songs,though they surely are of my ain folk. I love them also as a social history of the people of the Gaels in a window to show our culture in music to the world. Keep up the wonderful posts,they bring joy to all Gaels abroad and at home ! Eirinn gu Brath agus Alba Gu Brath !!!!
I love Brendan O'Dowda songs. Does anyone have Sweet Marie and Carmody's Mare by Brendan O'Dowda? I have been unable to get the old CDs online, and really loved these songs... If you could post them on Utube, that would be great!
Ha, ha, ha, listening on his iPod I suppose, oh no it must have been a Sony Walkman but really I can't imagine Blair chasing a German soldier rifle in one hand and a portable wind-up gramophone player with a large horn in the other hand, but there again nothing is impossible is it!!! You were joking of course, I hope?

When I hear this song, I just want to cry.

Believe it or not his son Ciaran O’Dowda is the headmaster of my school and came out on stage at Madison Square Garden with him.
An excellent video accompanying a splendid version of a lovely sentimental old song.

What's a Jarvey?
A jarvey drives a horse and cart
A jarvey drives a pony & trap for taking passengers , before the days of the motor car . I remember them in Cavan in 1950s .
