SAMMY'S BAR

Fantastic song by Cyril Tawney. (the last boat's a-leaving) It's full of sad emotive images. Having been to Malta several times now I can see the whole story and imagine the places and beaches. I'm told that Sammy's bar doesn't exist anymore. I think it got demolished years ago but some the colourful daighsoe's (dhaiso) still operate there to and from the harbour in Valletta. Listen to the original version by Cyril. Its beautiful.
