That is lovely ! It is one of my favourite songs to sing but I did not yet try it on dulcimer. You have inspired me - thank you. P.S. My dog ran in circles when he heard your dog !

Thank you Chritopher, I love the song.

Thanks Helen, glad you like it and yes it is my modern mountain as a baritone tuned to AEA. I love the sound of it. Glad you like Paradise it is really easy to play and I know you can do it.

Very well done Dana. Thanks for posting! Great job!

Nice one Dana, as Oliver said "please can I have some more?"

Very nice, Dana. I learned this song from a book and CD of Irish music that I bought at the Shannon airport while on my way to an all-expenses-paid trip in Bosnia back in 1999. Its a great harmonica song, too.

If you prefer your music with a side of politics, or want a story behind the song, check this one out . Skip the comments on this video if you are squeamish about language.

Here is mine . I think we used the same general chord structure. The volume on this is low; you may have to turn it up a bit.

And again, I really like your version.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments the pups are happy about there part in the vid and will prob sing along in several more.

Dana, that was very nice. Sounded like the pups liked it, too.

Nicely done!

Many people think this song is 'Traditional' as it quickly became popular and was absorbed into the repetoire of the public however it is a relativley new song written and composed by Peter Mooney under his stage name Pete St John who rarely receives the credit he deserves.

Dana, very well done, I really liked the vocal harmonies.

Thanks everyone, and no C the pups are still alive. lol got to love um they just wanted to sing along.

Nicely done Dana!

Dana, I love this song too. It is beautiful.

That was beautiful, Dana.
