Town I Left Behind ~ Johnny McEvoy!

 Town I Left Behind ~ Johnny McEvoy!

One of the finest balladeers to come out of Ireland in the sixties and a singer - songwriter of note I couldn't do him justice so a trip to Youtube and Wikipedia is necessary. Impossible to meet anyone who doesn't remember some of his songs. This is a song he wrote for his brother Tom who emigrated to the States. Loaded by Johnny McEvoy and with thanks.
