My mum was a huge fan of the dubs. So much so that she toke me to meet them when I was tiny. I've got a memory of dropping barney mcenas banjo. Fantastic song's tho!
And Ronnie spoke straight - in the auld public houses. A fool that interrupted the Dubliners like that, would find out he had been signed up for, and had suddenly won, a very brief flying lesson. Sans plane, wings or parachute.
Spoke to him by phone from here in the States a day or so before he died. He was in hospital. Told him I enjoyed being his guest for dinner in Ireland at his home in Ireland along with his wife Diedre back in 1997. Great guy, great spirit, real man.
Imagine Ronnie doing "Mama Tried" with that voice of gravel and brogue. Johnny Cash OWNS Folsom Prison Blues. Ronnie could do a fair shake at it, but can't quite replace Johny C. But I would have simply loved to hear Dubliners do Mama Tried with Ronnie using that marvelous Irish rock tumbler of a voice to make it theirs.
Ronnie knew his way with words, great sence of humor, great man,music, great response at the audiance,and boy, what a great voice!!!Thanks Ronnie R.I.P.
I went to the concert of Dubliners in September 2002 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. What a fantastic experience, thank you for the stories and the music, guys!
When tobacco was sold in rolls (or 'rouls' in Dublin), the best and least damaged tobacco came from the middle or 'heart' of the roll. So the heart of the rowl is the best of the best, the cream of the crop etc
Thats intresting. Im live in Dublin and have heard this song a lot. I always thought it was the heart if the row was Dicey Reilly, meaning she was always the centre of attention. Thanks for the explination .
reminds me getting off school when I was a kid going straight to the pub to me nanny, her sitting there with her vodka and TK red.. everyday she buy me scampy fries and/or peanuts I called her ma most me life, got me ready for school and everything i love and miss her so much R.I.P from a grateful grandson
I love Ronnie, he was a great man with a great voice, which was once described as sounding like 'coal, caught under a door on a stone floor'. and the way he dealt with that heckler was brilliant, might have to use that some time :L
How can anyone replace this true wonderful true Irish gentleman, thank you for the happiness you have Given to my sad life. Best wishes from Stan Orr, p
So much regret I only discovered the depth of Irish folk in '09. This man is legendary - would have been more so to me if I had the privilage to him live. RIP to all the great Dublin lads who would put most modern karaoke artists to shame. Greetings from South Africa.
The Dubliners are a great group. No one can deny that. It is too bad that Johnny Cash and Ronny Drew never teamed up for an album. Their voices are dynamic. It is sad how the years have gone by so quickly and the great artists pass away. May they rest in peace. I also like the Seekers. Another great group. Ronny Drew was the a legend. I often wonder if the Dubliners have ever been in Canada for a show. I have inquired but no one has ever replied. If anyone has any knowledge of The Dubliners ever having been in Canada I would love to hear about it.

Me too, all these Dubliners stories are fascinating
I fucking love our heritage the music and craic is always a laugh were so lucky to be Irish I love my island Ireland🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
the words of the song: Oh poor old Dicey Reilly, she has taken to the sup And poor old Dicey Reilly, she will never give it up It's off each morning to the pop that she goes in for another little drop But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly She will walk along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air And then its down by Summerhill, and as the people stare She'll say, "It's nearly half passed one Time I went in for another little one But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Now at two, pubs close and out she goes as happy as a lark She'll find a bench to sleep it off at St. Patrick's Park She'll wake at five feeling in the pink And say, "Tis time for another drink But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Now she'll travel far to a dockside bar to have another round And after one or two or three she doesn't feel quite so sound After four she's a bit unstable After five underneath the table But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Oh they carry her home at twelve o'clock as they do every night Bring her inside, put her on the bed and then turn out the light Next morning she'll get out of bed And look for a cure for her head But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
ronnie drew will never be frogotten. i have got tickets for the dubliners in november, and i am really excited about it, but it would have been just plain awesome to see this guy live
Marc Steffens- There were only four guitars my friend and one Banjo. ALL playing in harmony with the audience. I was lucky enough to have seen them play live a number of times and God Bless them all. xxx
May the Almighty continue to bless the magical land of Ireland. The land that stood up in 1916 and told the English in Westmonster to Feck Off! 🏴🇨🇮✌️
I have the dvd of this performance, it's great! The only thing I don't like about is that they edited the part out of Ronnie telling that guy to shut it. I love his sense of humour. God bless you and the other Dubliners who passed on.
From Irish Music Daily: "The word ‘pop’, which is used in the chorus, is Dublin slang for pawn shop. This suggests Dicey’s daily routine is to visit the pawn shop to get money to buy drink. The ‘heart of the rowl’ refers to the end part of a roll of chewing tobacco. The end of the roll was generally considered to be the best because it had more time to mature."
Bart Springer My uncle Dano RIP had a little run in with Ronnie. Dano was a culchie but lived in Dublin for years had a strong personality like Ronnie RIP. Neither of them gave way
Ronnie Drew's voice is amazing, and Not just when he's singing. His sense of humour and honest is great as well.
My mum was a huge fan of the dubs. So much so that she toke me to meet them when I was tiny. I've got a memory of dropping barney mcenas banjo. Fantastic song's tho!
A .. .
I love how Ronnie Drew told that guy that interrupted him to shut up.
What was that other gut saying?
@@lennert3028 He was just shouting and interrupting Ronnie
me too Ronnie was like me we don't take any bull shit rest in peace Ronnie
Shurrup
And Ronnie spoke straight - in the auld public houses. A fool that interrupted the Dubliners like that, would find out he had been signed up for, and had suddenly won, a very brief flying lesson. Sans plane, wings or parachute.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE SUCH CLASS ACT IN ALL YOUR LIFE AS THESE GUYS ON STAGE EFFORTLESS
YEP
Missed this gem when he was still with us. Thank the internet that these recordings are here for us to enjoy
These songs are sacred. So are The Dubliners :D :D :D
Had the entire audience on a leash, a true master of performance
Here's to the Dubliners there music will live forever
Absolutely
Spoke to him by phone from here in the States a day or so before he died. He was in hospital. Told him I enjoyed being his guest for dinner in Ireland at his home in Ireland along with his wife Diedre back in 1997. Great guy, great spirit, real man.
Ronnie Drew was a genius. I loved that voice of his. He and Johnny Cash should had teamed up for at least one recording. God bless him.
I will always and forever hope that should I make it to heaven, I'm met at the nearest pub with those two making the rafters roar.
Imagine Ronnie doing "Mama Tried" with that voice of gravel and brogue.
Johnny Cash OWNS Folsom Prison Blues. Ronnie could do a fair shake at it, but can't quite replace Johny C.
But I would have simply loved to hear Dubliners do Mama Tried with Ronnie using that marvelous Irish rock tumbler of a voice to make it theirs.
I love the Dubliners and the Pogues doing Irish Rover together.
Ronnie knew his way with words, great sence of humor, great man,music, great response at the audiance,and boy, what a great voice!!!Thanks Ronnie R.I.P.
Agree so much it hurts
Thank you Ronnie and the Dubliners from the bottom of my boots.
I went to the concert of Dubliners in September 2002 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. What a fantastic experience, thank you for the stories and the music, guys!
If Jamesons Best Whiskey had a voice it would surely be Ronnie Drew's intoxicating and 100% Irish

Love the people who have a little extra knowledge on something and decide to share it
Terrific piece of info
Whenever you're feeling down , the inimitable Ronnie Drew will soon lift your spirits - you can be sure of it. Legend !
I also agree with your comment
***** I bought a couple of Rory Gallagher albums in the mid 70s , and although a great guitarist , I never got off on the solo guitarist thing .

you fool . try travelling
"Like coal dragged across the fluer-er" What a voice.
What I love so much is that every song is a story, very rare if any and not as well done.
Beyond Awesome !!!
The mold was broken after Ronnie was made!
Ain't we lucky, to hear this.
We sure are Shannon!
"last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook..." This line was missing from the DVD, wasn't it? Possibly the best version of this Ronnie ever did.
The Dubliners music is great RIP Ronnie Drew
Absolutely
The Dubliners are a great group. No one can deny that. It is too bad that Johnny Cash and Ronny Drew never teamed up for an album. Their voices are dynamic. It is sad how the years have gone by so quickly and the great artists pass away. May they rest in peace. I also like the Seekers. Another great group. Ronny Drew was the a legend.

Ronnie has the voice like the mating call of a rusty file! God bless you and the boys ( including George R R Martin on banjo!!)
+Pat Diamond Barney Mc Kenna, would play circles around most banjo players
Can't think of anyone better!
Pat Diamond he really does look like George rr Martin !
Who is George R R Martin? I've never heard of him?
X
23Seana he is an American writer who looks like Barney McKenna
R.I.P. Ronnie
I would like to apologize for my father in the audience. Not sure if it was him, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. LMAO 😂 Love this song. ❤❤❤
Just love Ronnie blue eyes and Luke and all the boys . yours truly Dicey💁
I love that tune and the Dubliners singers great singers.
the words of the song:
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly, she has taken to the sup
And poor old Dicey Reilly, she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop that she goes in
for another little drop
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
She will walk along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then its down by Summerhill, and as the people stare
She'll say, "It's nearly half passed one
Time I went in for another little one
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Now at two, pubs close and out she goes as happy as a lark
She'll find a bench to sleep it off at St. Patrick's Park
She'll wake at five feeling in the pink
And say, "Tis time for another drink
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Now she'll travel far to a dockside bar to have another round
And after one or two or three she doesn't feel quite so sound
After four she's a bit unstable
After five underneath the table
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Oh they carry her home at twelve o'clock as they do every night
Bring her inside, put her on the bed and then turn out the light
Next morning she'll get out of bed
And look for a cure for her head
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
ronnie drew will never be frogotten.
i have got tickets for the dubliners in november, and i am really excited about it,
but it would have been just plain awesome to see this guy live

Ladies of dubious, impermanent, and expensive affection
From Irish Music Daily: "The word ‘pop’, which is used in the chorus, is Dublin slang for pawn shop. This suggests Dicey’s daily routine is to visit the pawn shop to get money to buy drink. The ‘heart of the rowl’ refers to the end part of a roll of chewing tobacco. The end of the roll was generally considered to be the best because it had more time to mature."
Thank you for the explanation
Perfect explanation of these fascinating words Mr. Ching, thank you!
Actually he’s saying pub not pop as in public house where they sell alcohol or as Americans call it “bar” 👍🏻
@@bigmaxxybyrne1063 3:08 he is very clearly saying pop
Great stuff
god bless em all
For Marc. Two thumbs up and your right.
Brilliant
class pure class
Some of those ladies were teaching those fellas how to read, write or dance properly with a lady. IJS
Thanks for the reply. It would have been interesting if these two stars would have got together just for one sitting.
26 piss artist, english "judges" disliked dis here story. God rest ye Ronnie!
Kushti fellas love em still ❤️
Mighty.
Does anyone know what the guy in the crowd shouts out?
Don't piss Ronnie Drew off LOL
Bart Springer - Arschloch
It would be very rude to piss off such a Dublin legend as Ronnie Drew
Bart Springer My uncle Dano RIP had a little run in with Ronnie. Dano was a culchie but lived in Dublin for years had a strong personality like Ronnie RIP. Neither of them gave way
Bart Springer I agree
Ronnie was known to be quite grumpy and short tempered but all and all he was a Dublin Legend
Id say he was in many bar fights in his younger years
THE BEST
