The full album is good.
But you can't fail to enjoy this track.
The Pogues/Shane were fucking awesome
Only saw them once though on Randalls Island in NYC when they had a Flaugh/Irish music festival
Shane was all fucked up, but still excellent :)

My mothers sister, Aunt Noani, would play this on her accordion/squeeze box sitting in her kitchen by the fireplace
Fucking magnificent

Back in 2007 my life was a Mundy song. I lost my heart to a Galway girl. Even had the straight black hair and green eyes!

When I lived there, the most popular Irish songs were anything by Kings of Leon. No body does a sing a long like the Irish. So awesome to have a whole bar stop everything and sing along to a song when it comes on.

I'm a pure Galway/Bog man & spent a good majority of my time there as a youth, when I wasn't in school in New York
My parents were from Leenane/Clifden in Galway, the West of Ireland
Both named Coyne
They grew up 30 miles apart in Ireland & then met each other in Chicago in 1940 & fell in love
Actually an amazing story
I alway's got shit about it though,with both my parents with the same last name (No, they weren't related :) )
One more Tommy Makem tune (for now)

Galway is my favorite place in the world! The West is gorgeous. I've never seen a place so green. The Emerald Isle nickname is well earned!

Go to Leenane in Connamara, Galway next visit, and go to a B&B named Le Fjord on the Killery Harbor (my mothers birthplace)
Tell them your a friend of me, James Coyne
You will be treated as a King, fucking guaranteed.
It's nice to communicate with you
You make me smile, which is very nice, indeed :)
Stay safe & strong :)

I'd love to go back once travel restrictions are lifted. I've got a feeling the folks at the BnB may know several James Coyne...don't think your name could be more Irish. I've met more than one Coyne from Galway!

Yea, Galway is full of fucking Coyne's
Just tell them James Francis Patrick Coyne, son of Julia Mary Coyne & Patrick Joseph Coyne, who was the daughter of Peter & Margret Coyne, who were founder's of that village, Leenane, after the fucking Brits relocated/expelled them from their actual homeland in 1700 from the North of Ireland to make room for those Protestant cunts (Yea, they did that) to the worst area/land in Ireland (Yea, I remember/will never forget)
It's funny that now it's considered by many to be the most beautiful area/part of Ireland (It's all fucking rock/bog/I like it though :) )

It a different kind of beauty for sure. The bog would make an excellent movie set for another planet. And the cliffs are really something else.
