    His singing with musical accompaniment is wonderful, but his singing solo is unsurpassed. Such is his musical genious. LUKE STIL MANAGES TO FIND A WAY WITH HIS UNIQUE VOICE TO ENTER OUR HEARTS AND NEVER LEAVE US.

    Ah good evening, all me jolly lads, I'm glad to find you well
    If you'll kindly gather around me, now, the story I will tell
    For I've got the situation and begorrah and begob
    I can whisper I've the weekly wage of nineteen bob
    'Tis twelve months come October since I left me native home
    After helping them Killarney boys to bring the harvest down
    But now I wear the geansaí and around me waist a belt
    I'm the gaffer in the squad that makes the hot asphalt
    Oh, we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flat
    And if it doesn't last forever, sure, I swear, I'll eat me hat
    Well, I've wandered up and down the world but sure I never felt
    Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
    Now the other night a copper comes and he says to me, McGuire
    Would you kindly let me light me pipe down at your boiler fire?
    Well he planks himself right down in front, with hobnails up, till late
    And says I, me decent man, you'd better go and find your bait
    He ups and yells, I'm down on you, I'm up to all yer pranks
    Don't I know you for a traitor from the Tipperary ranks?
    Boys, I hit straight from the shoulder and I gave him such a belt
    That I knocked him into the boiler full of hot asphalt
    Oh, we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flat
    And if it doesn't last forever, sure I swear, I'll eat me hat
    Well, I've wandered up and down the world but sure I never felt
    Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
    We quickly pulled him out again and we threw him in the tub
    And with soap and warm water we began to rub and scrub
    Ah, but, devil the thing, it hardened and it turned him hard as stone
    And with every other rub, sure you could hear the copper groan
    I'm thinking, says O'Reilly, that he's lookin' like old Nick
    And burn me if I am not inclined to claim him with me pick
    Now, says I, it would be easier to boil him till he melts
    And to stir him nice and easy in the hot asphalt
    Oh, we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flat
    And if it doesn't last forever, sure I swear, I'll eat me hat
    Well, I've wandered up and down the world but sure I never felt
    Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
    You may talk about yer sailor lads, yer singers and the rest
    Yer shoemakers and yer tailors but we please the ladies best
    Now the only ones who know the way their flinty hearts to melt
    Are the lads around the boiler making hot asphalt
    Well with rubbing and with scrubbing, sure, I caught me death of cold
    For scientific purposes, me body it was sold
    In the Kelvin grove museum, me boys, I'm hangin' in me pelt
    As a monument to the Irish, making hot asphalt
    Oh, we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flat
    And if it doesn't last forever, sure I swear, I'll eat me hat
    Well, I've wandered up and down the world and sure I never felt
    Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt

      ​@@stormytempest3907 I bought the DVD box set about 20 years ago, it has all episodes plus the film (but not the 'missing' episode between both, called The Muscle Market, concentrating more on a building contractor paying cash-in-hand to lads on the sites who he knew were on the dole, sounds like the character 'Molloy' from the series'). I would recommend watching the whole lot again, it's more relevant than ever and a really terrific, well made series but prepare to be very VERY depressed by the end of it.

In '75 when Newsweek said Springsteen was the new Dylan I was outraged! What they MEANT was he's a True American Original & the resemblance ends there--it took me 20 years to Acknowledge BS!
