    Bogle's "The Leaving of Nancy" especially done by Finbar,magic !! Bear in mind the song was written about his mother,not a girlfriend for what it's worth.
    Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcH7pBDvdYc and here's the worms.

    In comes the train and the whole platform shakes
    It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes
    The parting has come and my weary soul aches
    I'm leaving my Nancy, oh

    But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay
    You talk of the weather and events of the day
    And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh

    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows

    My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train
    And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain
    The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain
    I'm leaving my Nancy, oh

    But you stand there beside me so lovely to see
    The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea
    You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh

    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows

    But our time has run out and the whistle has blown
    Here I must leave you standing alone
    We had so little time and now the time's gone
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh

    And as the train starts gently to roll
    And as I lean out to wave and to call
    I see the first tears trickle and fall
    Goodbye my Nancy, oh

    And come a little closer
    Put your head upon my shoulder
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows
    And let me hold you one last time
    Before the whistle blows
    Have you ever heard Bogle's hilarious song " I Hate Wogs"? It may not be exactly PC, but you be the judge. You mentioned you like Mr Furey's rendition of GOF. I take it you haven't heard Dermot O'Brien's cover. Funny thing about Bogle; Many who covered Bogle's material did a better job of singing them than he did.

          One of my favourite Dublin musicians, Paul Kelly, playing tonight at the Steeple Sessions, Stephen's Green. Another favourite, Frankie Lane, also in the video.

                    • Paul Brady and Andy Irvine... they played in Vicar Street tonight - Donal Lunny with them too... three-fifths of a Planxty reunion.

                      I dragged my youngest son along... told him it was part of his 'education'.

                      Everything is self-evident.
