This will be sung at my funeral. A bloody Fabulous song. If this song is not available I will settle for "You are going out the same way you came in" sung by big Tom.
My fathers FAVORITE song, and I would like it played at my funeral as well. You have to understand the tongue-in-cheekedness of this song, not morbid, just wonderful.
OK - This comment is written on New Year's Eve of the Year my father died - back in August for those of you are bothered. This is the song my father insisted should be sung at his funeral and was he ever right? This is song that lowered a bucket into the well of despair and drew me up; This is the song that showed me my father was still there for me- death notwithstanding - Thanks Dad
Our family used to go to Boscombe every year for our holidays in the early 70's and the house we stayed in had an old gramaphone player and some old 78s. Can remember as a young boy the first thing we would do when we got their was to wind it up & put on this song. Great memories. Bloomin Great Horses!
I remember back in the early 60s I would stay at my Grans house in Hastings, Sussex...she would put on Radio Eireann on her wireless...it came in on the "skip" after 730pm (like Radio Luxemburg)....
This always makes me chuckle - I was listening to it before work this morning and it was going round my head all morning - I'm a home carer and daren't tell the clients what i was singing in my head :D
This is a good one. I never heard' any other version of it. It is nearly the same song all the way through. The fourth line in every verse' is the only one changed in the song.
The song is about you! I don't mean that in a bad way but the song is about how the widow became available .... Perhaps you should request "Nancy Whiskey"!
We played this at my Dad's funeral at his request. At the end everyone was singing along and clapping, Dad would have loved it. I'm torn between this and Enjoy Yourself (it's later than you think) for my own. My brother wants Death of Clown, which is another good choice. Mainly I want to quote the great Stan Laurel who famously said 'If any of you cry at my funeral I'll never speak to you again'
"Always remember the longer you live the sooner you bloody well die" I hope to live long enough to see an end to the asshole we have as a president to die before me. And an end to the socialist bullshit he has introduced to this country. Up the Republic!

Irish morbidity! You gotta love it. Doubtless Samuel Beckett's favorite lullaby.

I was weaned on the Clancy Brothers. I heard these songs before I even knew what they meant.
Me, too. My dad used to play them on his stereo system.
His voice when he says "Bloody good female" sounds kind of sad somehow, it hits me hard everytime
All of my friends and folks already know that I want to be played this at my send-off!!
Grandads funeral song. Loved it x
We used to sing this at my school midweek assembly’s, I loved it then and I love it now 40 years on!
So glad I found it! 👍
What kind of hellish school did you go to? 😂 Or maybe just a school with a generally great sense of humour
@@lisaw150
We had a music master with a generally great sense of humour!
The more I drink the more Irish my songs get, here's to you gramps
Damn man this comment hit me hard thinking about my pap that loved this music.
My grandfather passed away almost 5 years ago 😭😭😭
@@MichelleMyBelle2121 so
Raising my glass to your Grandfather now - but the song is of English origin.
This was played at my Grans funeral everytime I now hear it I do have a bloody good cry
Inspiring for any honest person of this imperfect Earth... Great !
I first heard this in a pub in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1980.
I want this played at my bloody funeral!
Your funeral is going to be bloody??
Brad Hintz
No, bloody, like in "the longer you live the sooner you'll bloody well die".
+Entität des Seins yeah i got it just messin around
Entität des Seins 😛😅😂
Remember this song as a boy but the word BLOODY was a different word beginning with F.. a great Funeral song
my funeral song..told the wife,,,hope she took notice
This song was my grandads favourite song he died a month ago 😕
This is a good one. I never heard' any other version of it. It is nearly the same song all the way through. The fourth line in every verse' is the only one changed in the song.
I think this is the perfect wedding dance song.
genius f***ing love this song
I want someone to sing this at my funeral.
Nancy Benefiel this has just been played at my Dads funeral
It will be played at mine

I love the humor in this✅
I'm having this one at mine. No question.
LOOK AT THAT!!!!!
Not One Dislike!!
Sure Isn't That Grand!
there is always one
James Grange There is always two :p
love their music
can't beat the Irish music the best proud of my Irish great-grandchildren father
My uncle Patrick died last night. Beannacht Dé mo uncail.
The send off song is the Parting Glass!
Tommy Makem read row right. LOVE HIM
Ya gotta love it. jm
Me too ,
My uncles funeral song fucking brilliant 👏
Rip aunty
The original had "blooming" as originally a English music hall type song from early 30s. Clancy brothers replaced with "bloody".
I hope it will be played at mine
Yes just before the bagpipes
Do you think they would allow this song in a church cos I'd like it
"ain't it grand to be blooming well dead" is tipped off by the title
Look at the preacher..Not at my send off...
Here is the original artist ... ua-cam.com/video/NcAieB-2kC0/v-deo.html
What’s weird is they’re also dead. Hope it was played at their funeral
Meaning no disrespect to the Clancy Brothers, I wonder what Butthole Surfers version of this song might sound like.
"Always remember the longer you live the sooner you bloody well die" I hope to live long enough to see an end to the asshole we have as a president to die before me. And an end to the socialist bullshit he has introduced to this country. Up the Republic!
