    As a person that's been to England twice (though never Scotland or Ireland), I can honestly say that these are the TRUE Irish people we've heard aboot. Amen

    Ronnie was a true musician and a great person. And here's to the rest of everyone keeping this alive....I hope to see more stuff like this. Mighty Stef now is a favorite of mine and well everyone else I have been a long time fan.

    I had the honour of having a jar with Ronnie Drew and I regret I can never tell him how special a memory that is. One of a kind.

    Been missing Ronnie a lot here lately. This is the best tribute video. Beats the shite out of that "Ballad" performance on the tele. Stef, Dave, Bridget, Ronnie, and Bren... ...all hanging out with the legend "Uncle Ronnie". PRICELESS. Love you all, love this song, go well friends.

    here's somebody… under the bed…
    Whoever… can it be…
    I feel so… very nervous…
    I call for… Joni…
    Joni… lights the candle…
    But there’s no… body there...
    Hei… hi… diddley… di… And out goes she...
    Skipping ropes keep turning…
    And children… at their play...
    In… and out… to Claredon street…
    In… and out… to pray
    I haven’t prayed… for 20 years…
    Or sung… a happy song
    Since praying went with innocence,
    And the devil played along...
    And we… all went up to The Mero…
    Hey there… whose yer man…
    It's only… Johnny… Forty Coats…
    Sure he's… a desperate man…
    Bang-Bang… shoots the buses…
    With his… golden key…
    Hei… hi… diddley… di… And out goes she…
    Me father was a Stater…
    Me mother… … loved a Tan
    She loved her Heffner sausages…
    And her solider fancy man...
    Norah… is up at Jacob's…
    And Mary's… on the town...
    I joined… the Transport Union...
    When they said… me nose… was brown…
    And we all went up to The Mero…
    Hey there whose yer man...
    It's Alfie Byrne out walking…
    Sure he’s… a decent man...
    Bang-Bang… shoots the buses…
    With his… golden key...
    Hei hi… diddley di… And out goes she...
    I’ve a tanner for The Mero…
    And me compo money's… hid...
    If Mary's in the family way…
    She can blame the Cisco Kid...
    I'll be langers in the morning…
    Me longers… need a patch...
    A jaysus… there's Con Martin…
    I hope yas win… the match...
    Me uncle… had a wolf-hound…
    That never… had to pee...
    But Hairy Lemon… snatched it…
    Down on the Eden Quay...
    Now I have… me primo…
    Me scapulars… are blue...
    For helping… the black babies…
    And Dolly Fosset too…
    And… we… all went up to The Mero...
    Hey there… whose yer man…
    It's Brendan Behan out walking...
    Sure he's… a ginger man…
    Bang-Bang… shoots the buses…
    With his… golden key...
    Hei hi… diddley di… And out goes she...
    It’s true, Dublin's changing...
    Since the pillar was blown down...
    By the winds of violence…
    That's buggering up… the town...
    We used to sort a difference…
    With a digging match and a jar...
    Now they're all playing Bang-Bang…
    It’s goin’ too bleedin’ far...
    [Slow… No music]
    And… we… all went up to The Mero...
    Hey there… whose yer man...
    It's only… me guardian angel...
    Get a large one… for your man...
    No use… … in bleeding… rushing...
    For now's… the holy hour…
    A plenary… indulgence
    And… another…… baby…… Power!
