about

Originally written by Ewan MacColl, this great song has become a staple in the Irish folk scene due to the singing of the legendary Luke Kelly and in latter years, Shane Macgowan & The Pogues.
Most people sing the first line "I met my love by the gasworks wall..." but here, I have chosen to go with MacColl's original lyric "I met my love by the gasworks croft..."
Either lyric sounds good in my opinion but, I prefer the original.
The song itself is set in Salford, a town not far from Manchester in the UK.
I hope you enjoy my studio version of this absolute classic.
