Cover art for Scorn Not His Simplicity lyrics by Dubliners, The

This is one of the most beautifully moving songs i've heard luke kelly of the Dubliners sing. Written by the bands manager, Derry composer Phil Coulter about his first born son who was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. Luke had so much respect for the song, he only sang it once for a television recording and rarely sang it with the Dubliners. Never fails to bring a tear to my eye...
