WOW nicolachildnicole ...... You are so lucky to know him personally :) wish I did :) I've met him twice seen him in concert heaps of times. Leaving nancy is one of my many frav songs that he has written over years.

This song reminds me of my Granny, Nancy Macdonald who bid her beau goodbye in Edinburgh in 1914 when he went off to war with the Royal Scots... Captain Sandy Watson came home in 1918 to marry Nancy...

OMG I ca relate to this as I left my mum and dad & inlaws and could barely breathe for the sadness I felt, as I also took their grandaughter with me...................I cried all the way here, and have adopted this country as my own but still regret depriving my daughter of her family....................

That man is a national treasure, for Scotland and Australia both. -jcr

@MultiGeraghty yes, Eric did regular concert tours of England and Scotland up until a year or so back, when he announced that he was getting a bit too old to be travelling all that way. He now only tours within Australia and New Zealand.

Good video. Eric Bogle wrote some of the best lyrics ever in the world of folk music.

@sherp2u1 It IS a romantic love song. He loved his mother so much that he wrote this lovely ballad about leaving home (Scotland) probably never to return! (By the way, Did he ever return?)

beautiful song, I thought it was a romantic love song all these years.

Hello, people ! does anyone have any recordings of Eric Bogle? I saw him in Saddleworth, and since then never had a chance to get out to festivals... Now he's stopped touring, so the only way to see him would be to go to Adelaide... Could anyone share some mp3s with me? I bought one album, but that's all I can afford now...

Saw Eric in action at The Lemon Tree here in Aberdeen. Brilliant just doesn't seem to cover it! What a **star** and as you say, such a nice person. I am behind you there, sifakaindri52, when you say you hope Eric reconsiders touring here again. Why don't we start a petition? Eric, please don't forget us!!! Great, great performer and the songs speak for themselves.

Saw Eric and John at Crail but my camera only recorded 40 sec slots! Really enjoyed his second trip to Crail and hope he'll rethink his decision not to tour outside australia!
