Come all ye young fellas that handle a gun...

[Dreaded Claymore]

This is a Celtic tune that will impress upon you why you must ALWAYS follow the four rules, especially #4 (be sure of your target).



I have the CD that includes this song. When I listen to it, I frequently cry.

Ah gimme a break. Did anyone like it? Hate it? Have one like it?

No complaints about the performance, but mixed feelings about the message the tale is conveying. Responsible firearm owners lament 'bad' gun stories but it's also saying there's a punishment for improper safety/discipline.

First I've heard of the tale, but found help here:

I didn't think "punishment" so much as "possible negative consequence."

Also, thanks for posting that page examining the ballad.

Thats Allyson Krauss isnt it? Pretty song. Wouldnt count it very moving though.

I prefer the Peter, Paul & Mary version that I grew up listening to when my Mother and Father played it on the living room stereo. The lyrics are a little different too.
