‘The Lonesone Boatman’ was a song released in 1980 on the old Banshee label by The Fureys & Davey Arthur. Written by Finbar Furey, it’s a haunting tune played with a long tin whistle known as kerrywhistle cobre high D alongside guitar and other traditional instruments.
This version on YouTube is from the 1985 Harmac compilation album called ‘Green Fields of Home’.
