Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem - The Butcher Boy

No need to feel ashamed if you choke up a bit, Tommy Makem had an amazing voice. Live performance with Pete Seeger from "Rainbow Quest" in 1965.

Very sad folk song, all the best ones are, not really sure it's english I'd heard it used with dublin. But it's one of those old songs that was sung before being written down, so who knows the origins.
