Great performer, but the song is a traditionally Irish song,
and it takes an Irish tenor to sing it properly:

Ronan Tynan, of course.

Nice. What I heard, anyway.
I can never listen to the entire song except Jackie's version.
Just don't care for any rendition of it but his.
Not into maudlin. Don't like corned beef and cabbage either.
Corned beef on rye with mustard and pickles, sure.
Reubens, sure.
Luckily, I'm only part Irish.
So I get to play Irish when I want to.
Like just about everybody else, including Barack O'Bama.

Even some Irish get fed up with the song.
