Reminds me of living in the bronx and working for jimmy metal Murray when he started out.. I was early 20's, goodlooking, full of energy and loved life...

No one sings this like Mary Courtney does - love this original recording :) Larry's lyrics are absolutely brilliant and honest!

Calvin Maynard

Who is the woman dueting here? Her voice is beautiful!

Alpha Lore

Love this song to death. This and James Connolly - the best B47 work. 

Phil Howley

i saw 'em in NYC, in the late 90's. got so drunk i lost my wife (i'm not even kidding). she had the money and subway tokens (or metro card. i think they were still using tokens, not sure...but either way...). i had the keys to her Bay Ridge apartment. i slept on the sidewalk (in NOVEMBER!). had to panhandle for money to get back to Brooklyn. she slept on her stoop, but had hot coffee and bagels to keep her company. i was asking peeps fer change, and they yelled at me to "get a job!". at that time, i was working as head electrician on a NYS construction site, paid well. it sucked, then, but it's pretty funny now.

Watched these guys at the West Belfast Feile in 1989 in Springhill and they rocked the place out, this song was heard all over Belfast that night,, Fucking brill song by a brill group.

No video, but excellent song in the oldies but goodies category.

This song kicks ass and reminds me of the many friends I knew in NY who came over from Ireland and their plights.

Black 47 rocks and sings to Irish cause, like some other band started with and saw the greenbacks.

TheIrishRock

Seen these guys at the West Belfast festival in the late 80's, they had the place jumping, with this version of "livin in america" Great band..

TheVictor163 - yes, there is a 2nd version - "Livin' in America - 11 Years On". It's a sequel, again with Mary Courtney (of Morning Star) singing the female vocals with Larry Kirwin. Brilliant lyrics, once again!
