My Uncle Tommy from Ireland just died. He may not have been anything like the Tommy in this song, but he was a big man and one of the greatest people in the whole family. RIP I'm gonna miss you, Uncle Tommy. 1932-2023
Eight beers lad, eight fucking beers. What's the fucking craic there like. I hope that fucker knows how much he's appreciated wherever his Irish ass may be.
I cannot get enough of Tommy Kelly and the Dropkick Murphys! I love the Rumjacks, also. I think I might have been Irish in a past life lol. I love the Celtic Music with all my heart.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 There's a tragic story about a man named Andy "8 beers" McGee. You can find it online, I won't spoil the read for you. Sums up the experience of a lot of Irish boys growing up in the south.
I am pretty emotionally tied to this song... my uncle died of lung cancer not long ago... He was a true fighter, he made a succes in his fifty years of life... Was a banker and has traded art pieces such as pictures and sculptures... i had a cool uncle...
Banjo..... man.... how haven’t I heard of you before last few days... oh that’s right, I’m America, music here blows for most part outside few Hick Hop guys. I’ve always, since I was a small child had an affinity for Celtic folklore, myths, and folk music.... this made that love even more
+Apentogo Eight Beers was an Irishman from a story on 4chan, told be someone that one him. It's a pretty sad story, actually. he winds up hanging himself.
Dedicated to my Uncle "In-Law" Tommy Tansy....He's the spittin' image of this tune...Even though he is under hospice care, he refuses to give up the fight!!
dude - just saw this. My family is from Belfast. This guy was the real deal. My heart goes out to all whom knew him. If you see someone in need, try your best to get them back upright. Tough guys need help too - we just don't ever ask for it....
I think I just had an eargasm..... Love this song! Just discovered you guys for the first time tonight, and you guys are FANTASTIC. Why haven't I stumbled on you before?!
The Rumjacks are one of the best punk bands i know and revel in that the world doesnt know.. downside, they arent as rich as they deserve to be considering the talent..
I always have the need to drink lot's of good old Irish wiskey when I hear my Irish brothers of the rumjacks strange isn't it I don't even drink anymore 😁😁😁👍🏻🥃🥃🥃
"Uncle Tommy" Early one November me Uncle Tommy joined the army, Kitted him out for danger & ferried him o’er the sea, He threw me o’er his shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty, Telling me when I were older “you’ll be just like me”, A half a bottle o’ whisky, tattoo of a pretty lady, Half a dozen Havana’s & his Aunties rosary, A-thunderin’ oe’r the border, guns a-blazin’, hells a-raisin’, “Here I am ya bastards, ye’ll no be havin’ me!” Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor, Tommy was a ramblin’ man, A silver blade in the dyin’ shade, Oor Tommy was a fightin’ man! The following December he sent a card to Auntie Annie, Tellin’ her he were frozen half to death upon a hill, Sick o’ the sound o’ trash cans, kickin’ in doors on dear old ladies, Sick o’ the screamin’ babies, he had lost the bottle tae kill. He earn’t his scars in German bars, And breakin’ the hearts o’ the maids o’ Norway, Trained his guns upon the Huns, And boxed the sons o’ proud old Galway, Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor, Tommy was a Ramblin’ man, Quick with a pound when yer luck was down, Oor Tommy was a Jerry can. Early one November me Uncle Tommy left the army, Stripped him o’ his regalia & ferried him o’er the main, He took me by the shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty, “bastard’s only love ye when ye’re shootin’ at yer ain!” 一部を表示 返信
Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor, Tommy was a ramblin' man, A silver blade in the dyin' shade, Oor Tommy was a fightin' man!...... ese tommy es un loquillo jajajaja que rolon!!!!!
The riff in the chorus is almost identical to Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly. Since most Irish bands pull heavily from Irish Folk music it would be very safe to assume that combination of chords is probably very old indeed. I just discovered the Rumjacks and I have to say I love them. Come to Washington, USA once the domestic violence case is resolved. We'd love to have ya!

This song makes me want eight beers.

Eight beers lad, eight fucking beers. What's the fucking craic there like.
I hope that fucker knows how much he's appreciated wherever his Irish ass may be.
Beer is for pussies!! Fickin run and whiskey!!!!!!!! AGAHAHAHAAA
SuperKami Popo Good old Andy Eight Beers Mcgee may he rest in peace or if there is a next life let him be happy as hell bless him mate.
I cannot get enough of Tommy Kelly and the Dropkick Murphys! I love the Rumjacks, also. I think I might have been Irish in a past life lol. I love the Celtic Music with all my heart.
My brother Tommy recently passed. I played this for my kids to remember him by. It stuck. Uncle Tommy is their Uncle Tommy.
Eric Robinson my dad named me after me sainted uncle Tommy after he passed in 1988
Stop lying for clout… fucking embarrassing
I don't drink beer but I love this kind of music. What an energy!
RIP EB
Joe Webb you heard our song for him off our album Sleepin Rough?

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're Celtic in every way! Awesome :)
Still my favorite song by The Rumjacks
After hearing about EB, hearing this, and seeing Sleeping Rough exists, I feel happy and sad. You were a good man Andy.

Veljko Gnjidic sorry to hear that, friend.. bit always remember him well. Here's to him :)
Veljko Gnjidic seems like you're lucky to have had an uncle like that. Honor him by remembering him and be glad to have known him.
Yannick Naert Thank you i will!
Tuve un tío así...🎉
And here I was thinking good old honest punk rock was as dead as a dodo. There is hope for humanity after all. All I can say is hats off.
Banjo..... man.... how haven’t I heard of you before last few days... oh that’s right, I’m America, music here blows for most part outside few Hick Hop guys. I’ve always, since I was a small child had an affinity for Celtic folklore, myths, and folk music.... this made that love even more
I love the rumjacks! I especially love those song!
Pure bandjo, perfect punk rock
Still the best Rumjacks song. I wish them all the best. I still love you Frankie if you're listening.
Pot and Kettle after a long day of work always gets to me, but this is still probably #1.
Great Song, great clip, great venue.......The best rock n roll band in Sydney.
Tommy was a jerry can.......

"Uncle Tommy"
Early one November me Uncle Tommy joined the army,
Kitted him out for danger & ferried him o’er the sea,
He threw me o’er his shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty,
Telling me when I were older “you’ll be just like me”,
A half a bottle o’ whisky, tattoo of a pretty lady,
Half a dozen Havana’s & his Aunties rosary,
A-thunderin’ oe’r the border, guns a-blazin’, hells a-raisin’,
“Here I am ya bastards, ye’ll no be havin’ me!”
Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor,
Tommy was a ramblin’ man,
A silver blade in the dyin’ shade,
Oor Tommy was a fightin’ man!
The following December he sent a card to Auntie Annie,
Tellin’ her he were frozen half to death upon a hill,
Sick o’ the sound o’ trash cans, kickin’ in doors on dear old ladies,
Sick o’ the screamin’ babies, he had lost the bottle tae kill.
He earn’t his scars in German bars,
And breakin’ the hearts o’ the maids o’ Norway,
Trained his guns upon the Huns,
And boxed the sons o’ proud old Galway,
Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor,
Tommy was a Ramblin’ man,
Quick with a pound when yer luck was down,
Oor Tommy was a Jerry can.
Early one November me Uncle Tommy left the army,
Stripped him o’ his regalia & ferried him o’er the main,
He took me by the shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty,
“bastard’s only love ye when ye’re shootin’ at yer ain!”

My family's Irish and have fought for Britain for all of our lives but struggled in the recent N. Ireland conflict so this song means a lot to me.
