Ralph McTell - From Clare to here 1990

Released 1976

There's four who share this room

and we work hard for the craic

And sleeping late on Sundays

well I never get to Mass

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way and it grows further day by day

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

When Friday comes around

Terry's only into fighting

My ma would like a letter home

but I'm too tired for writing

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way and it grows further day by day

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

It almost breaks my heart

when I think of Josephine

I told her I'd be coming home

with pockets full of green

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way and it grows further day by day

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

And the only time I feel alright is

when I'm into drinking

It sort of eases the pain of it

and levels out my thinking

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way and it grows further day by day

Oh it's a long way from Clare to here

I sometimes hear a fiddle play

or maybe it's a notion

I dream I see white horses dance

upon that other ocean

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way and it grows further day by day

Oh it's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here.

I have been a big fan of Ralph's music since about 1965. But who's great idea was it to flood the studio with the fog machine? It just looks odd with the audience half immersed in the fog! Anyway beautiful song Ralph, as all of of your songs.

The genius of this song is that Ralph gave it to us. Anybody can sing and play it with a basic ability to sing and play the chords and it's just as moving. Fond memories of a guy called Ray in Bristol who'd play this so beautifully, quiet and understated and a roomful of people sharing the emotion in Ralph's song, singing along reduced almost to tears.

Agree with both of the above. Ralph teaches a lot at his concerts. I didn't really rate him until I saw him live and I can say I totally under estimated him. The entire audience was spellbound for 2 hours. Very talented and very unique.

One of my favorite songs of all time...... I just love the refrain, with the repeated lyrics but each time melodically different. In fact, it's one of the best refrains melodically, exploring the melody in 4 inversions of the line, with soaring beauty in the 3rd inversion, and ending in the sad and melancholic relative minor!

Thanks for posting this video I never heard Ralph McTell sing his original song. I had only heard it on the Nanci Griffith cover recordings. This is one of the only songs that makes me tear up every single time I hear it because it so poingnantly expresses regrets.

Ralph McTell, brother, you can be proud of yourself,for in your lifetime you have managed to possess the most precious talent a human being can have, and that is: THE ART OF COMMUNICATING EMOTIONS BETWEEN ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE ROUND THE WORLD, with a simple guitar and a wonderful tunes and lyrics. Bless you.

A great dig Thank you to fritz for posting this video. It is always special to hear the song from the man who wrote it especially when that man is Ralph McTell, a legend.

I have not heard this news. Where did you hear this from? Perhaps you are confusing it with another folk singer from England named Bert Jansch who did sadly recently pass away.
