- N17 by The Saw Doctors
Well I didn't see much future
When I left the Christian brothers school
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N 17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I travelled that road
And as I turned left at Claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things would be different
If I ever decide to go back
Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy overcrowded trains
There's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
And behind all these muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns on the road
From the square to the town of the tribes

Seriously, 1990 this was released, I remember it was late in that year. I was raised in a midlands town and a group of us used to pile in the back of an old Peugeot 207 traveling on our way to Tullamore. Listening to this song always reminds me of the almost met this girl, almost shifted that girl, and the inevitable, you really got lucky with the other girl. Drunk out of our tree, After Ireland did so well in the World Cup in Italy, after doing the Leaving Cert, turning 18, the future really was ours and seriously, what a time to be alive. Thanks Mike, Colm, and Joe for the memories. Rest in Peace Sean, hold my spot at the bar my friend, we'll get drunk again some day and hold each other up, somehow. Thank you for letting me know what a wonderful human being you really are.
💯
Aye you're clearly from Edenderry
My wife and I honeymooned in Ireland. Heard this song by great little band in a pub. Always brings back how much fun we had. Have had a few pints since then but toast Ireland every time!
Up ireland ya good thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀🍀🍀
@@mrgamerson9623 Lol yup, yup 🤣🤣🤣
God I love being Irish
I'm a ride share driver in Melbourne (australia) and yesterday had four Irish girls in the car just beltin' this song out at the top of their voices, the passion for Ireland was thick in the air and reminded me so much of when I was a young man hitch-hiking through the south of the Emerald Isle.
God bless you beautiful people of Ireland!
Thet sound like clowns
The girls in the taxi that is
@@stelios3009you sound like a miserable gimp with no friends
My Mother is from Co Galway.... Love Galway and love the town of the tribes... I'm English born
This song has such a special place in my heart. I was at the miracle match between Munster-Gloucester. When the celebration and sing song ended, N-17 came on the speakers. I stood on the field at Thomond Park, beaming and taking it in. Ever since N-17 is my victory song.
Yeah, they're a right crowd for robbing other provinces songs.....
This hits home... moved from Ireland so I do wish I was on that N17. Ireland forever
yess
Proud to be Irish. God bless 👍🏻
I remember listening to this on my Walkman on the metro in Paris. I was so depressed. Couldn’t move home fast enough.
50 years today i left Derry to go for a weeks holiday in Galway with friends and my future wife ( still together) this song reminds of that wonderful week and some of those friends who sadly passed away
What a great band and memories... I sing this now and the younger people love it... Such an underrated band. Your music inspired me guys 👌🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I always used to cry when I heard this song because I’m from Galway and I’m in Laois now and I really miss it 😢
The singer always reminded me of Gordon Strachan!
Still listening in 2021 and I have this on my playlist it is so so good❤❤
I love the built in pisstakery with everything the Irish do, shoutout to all the Americans thinking 'oh my gosh this N17 must be one hell of a highway'

Just travelling with my thoughts and dreams
Drinking Guinness out of a Fosters glass. Back when you got a good pint no matter what the glass. Now its pints of slop out of a branded glass. Keeps the tourists happy I suppose. Or are my own glasses rose tinted...
Waaaay waay back in 2003 My brother my auld lad and i used to travel the length and breadth of the country following limerick fc whenever they were playing away from home. Hadnt a notion most of the time where we were going. But this was on the radio so it didnt matter. #awaydays
Moone Boy brought me here. The episode was called 'Boylé Boylé' and it was the part in which they were all in the van and stopped it for going tot he toilet. I've been searching a while for it and finally found it. Love the song.
They named an episode after me in my honour, quality
I remember being in Mulleady's Pub with the band after a show. Dave Mulleady was there before my world fell apart. Before I knew it could. I recall one of the band member's girlfriends had had a fairly serious hand surgery and how I enjoyed the chat and the drink and wished her hand well faster than it sounded it would get well. It felt like an ordinary night in my life out with another band going somewhere. I was always around such circles. It was a joy listening to this song. For a moment I was back in that pub. Nothing special really, just a moment I recall well because I like the Saw Doctor's sound and recall nice people.
Wish I was on that M17,
Concrete dividers and the Armco gleams!
This always reminds of the craic back in Ireland.
What a brilliant song. Great to see the Warwick hotel in it as well. What a great place it was. What a shame every thing we once had is ruined. I recently heard this song been sung by someone else it was appalling.
I saw this band at Manchester Academy in 1994. I'd never even heard of them! I only went to try and impress a girl I used to fancy. It didn't work 😔
It never does
Thanks lads for this awesome song, brings me home to Sligo everytime I hear it.
strand bar givin it ninety, great town sligo. Harrys bar.
@@celticbedou Shoot The Crows, Swagman and Fiddlers 😃
No one can sing N 17 like the saw doctors
Stone walls and the grasses green...very Irish indeed ...
grass is greener is the correct line in the song
Still love it.
There's the N17 down to Dunnottar, South Africa.
Used to drive that route to go paragliding; there's no stone walls, just spoil heaps and brown grass, but you can sing:
Wish I was back on that N17
Mine dumps and the grass is tangerine 😄😁😁
This always makes me think of when we holidayed in Sligo when I was a kid.
I was on the N17 last week over from America on my honeymoon and was blasting this song all the way to Sligo
Jon Gillespie change your profile picture and stop stealing our culture
Keep your profile picture and ignore the little ❄
@@conorhughes9980 fuck off
@@conorhughes9980 dick!
Still just as good as when I first heard it j the 1993 (?)
brilliant.. when the saw doctors wee rare...
Yes was in Shines in LB and heard it!
Genius
David o Dwyer loves your song. He’s a very sick young boy. He would love an autograph. Gbtm 💋
Absolutely fkn love this song and this band 👌🍺🍺🍺
I'm not familiar with the N17 (I live in Bray) but I have always loved this song.
It is in Ireland and it is just a road🙃
It's the road to sligo
@@kathrionaquirke6160 A lovely road
Oh the barraland nights. How we miss em.
Brilliant
Excellent.
The Irish club in Dartford Kent used to play this on the jukebox a lot
Best imagination song. Very underrated
I first went to Ireland in 1994 and it was much like this song. Now....not so much.
In 2054, people your age now will say the same about 2024. It's how it goes.,
So sad to see this town nowadays all the great pubs closed nothing let but bookie shops chemists and chippers atmosphere totally sucked out of it.
Let's rebuild.....and get back to church!
Great music video.
Yeah ❤️❤️
Memories all good
Ohhhhh to be back on my island
AHH that's the Ireland I remember lads 🍀🇮🇪🍀
Who are all these young lads singing the Saw Doctors' song? :o)
Still a belter in 2020🤙🤙

Very good laughter
I looked this up to relive somw youth. Now im just angry and I dont even know why.
The next song will be in the future 😊
Tula’s version is arguably better🙈from a paddy in Birmingham 💚🍺🇯🇲🇮🇪💚
R.I.P Anthony Nicholson, 0:02 - 0:11
Wide. Nice fella, from the hookie hall days
What a brilliant song and is it any wonder they had to leave the Whest. They were so poor over there that they couldnt afford drums and had to play the tables instead, wish I could play the tables that well
Romantic Irelands dead and gone, its with O'Leary in the grave
Very true
I wish I was on the N21, Abbeyfeale....
Quality song lads..... but look at the heads on ye!!!
What is the name of the pub that’s the lads are enjoying a few pints? I’d like to be there myself soon if it’s still open
It's Brownes from Bishop St. in Tuam. It's now a restaurant.
@@robertob4994 now closed
what a shame ... amazing song, but audio volume is way too low.
Tome chantin' shams...... Tis a roebuck song.
Love you guys and this song. But why the hell does the audio sound like it's from an eight track from a 1976 Dodge Diplomat with only one functional speaker wrapped in a towel buried in sand?! I bought this CD and lost it during one of my many relocations. This song deserves better. Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 re-do the audio. With all of my heart I implore you. 🙏🙏🙏
Mah uncles in it he worked in the pub :) but he looks AT LOT DIFFERENT A LOT XD
What’s the name of the pub and where is it if you don’t mind me asking ?
Tolü Makay's version is a whole new experience. Lovely. Check it out.
It's absolutely horrendous and is only promoted for political reasons
@@jamesrichards3842 what reasons?
Its beyond bad
@@88gdb shhh.
N17 By the Saw Doctors
Way better than u2
Bet they hate this song by now.
There'll be no N17 on the 28th July 🟠⚪
Tiocfaidh ar la, apologisiea for lack of fadas
Ssdns
I love us
Fucking class
Ireland when it was still Irish
The good aul days ❤
If it's not Irish now then what is it ?

M17 now
Nobody cares if you remember the lyrics differently

Love The Docs because as a woman from the North of Ireland I get it but Jesus' Christ how can they let a person who never lived in our history sing this song!
She's Irish you ignorant pig
Her version is exceptional!! It makes you really listen to the lyrics, and shes from Dublin I believe, so not sure what point you're making. Also, immigration is not exclusive to Ireland, it's common to many countries, so completely pointless comment.
A wistful song about missing home sung by a black lassie who migrated to Ireland is as perfect a singer for the song as you'd want. Unless you were an ignorant sly racist insular sh!t for brains.
