I’m half Scottish/half Irish. Though I’m a cowboy at heart and on the daily, I’ll still throw some whiskey and stout back and listen to songs like this. Love it!!!
Great song, just got back from my Indian vacation and visited many of the cities mentioned in the song. Lovely people and a wonderful peaceful vacation. Can't wait to visit again and escape my long Canadian winters!
The first time I heard DaVinci's Notebook's Another Irish Drinking Song, I almost crashed my car at the end; mostly because I had been kind of anticipating the joke.
I said farewell to Erin, only seven years ago When asked where I was headed, I said: "Jaysus, I dunno!?" I stepped ashore near Bangalore, not a tosser in me hand By the time I hit Darjeeling, I was feeling mighty grand! Chorus: You can keep your forty shades of green, they only make me blue You can stick your eggs and bacon, boys, I'll have a Vindaloo I found a place in India, so far across the foam You can call me Punjab Paddy, boys, I'm never comin' home I dreamed I got a letter from me darling Josephine She asked me would I marry her, back home in Skibbereen But the girls out here have almond eyes and jasmine-scented hair And there's things in the Kama Sutra that they never do in Clare! So I'll spend me days relaxing in me Punjab paradise No more I'll dig the praties, I'll stick to tea and rice I'll be sippin' mango lassi with the lassies in the shade While yer man called Ravi Shankar plays "The Boys of the Oul' Brigade!" Chorus: You can keep your Miltown Malbay, you can chuck yer Galway Bay You'll never see the sun go down on Delhi or Bombay I found a place in India, so far across the foam You can call me Punjab Paddy, boys, I'm never comin' home From Bohola to Benares, Inchigeela to Lahore Kamakura, Siliguri, Peshawar, Sahrunapore Amritsar to Sanawar, Simla, and Pinjore I got trolleyed on Dewali, and I'm going back for more! Someday I'll be a holy man with saffron on me nose I'll shave my head like Gandhi and I'll never wear no clothes To see the Irish Guru, they'll come from near and far Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Whiskey in the Jar! Chorus: You can keep your Michael Flatley with his tattoos on his chest Fare thee well, Sweet Anna Liffey, it's the Ganges I love best I found a place in India so far across the foam You can call me Punjab Paddy, boys, I'm never comin' home I'm never comin' home! I'm never comin' home!
Amazing song! References to Bangalore, Banaras, Kamasutra, Ravi Shankar, Diwali and a host of other things really give a nice visualization of the multicultural dimensions of India... HARE KRISHNA! HARE KRISHNA! WHISKEY IN THE JAR.....lol
laddie the reason it translates to eirinn go deo is that the words go deo actually mean forever but go braugh is the accepted phrase just like gra mo chroi means love of my heart but the accepted translation is with all my heart
@crazedscotsman553 Eirinn Go Bragh means Ireland Forever! and... its a very popular cheer. But, good on ya for not even knowing how to google a common phrase. ;)

Just came back from an Indian/American Army exchange, would do it again any chance I was given. May be the US's best friends that don't advertise it.

The best song 🎶 to play at at bar 🍺
Terrific stuff - my new favorite band
BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paddy Murphy is Punjab Paddy confirmed.
lol Hare krishna hare krishna whiskey in the jar.
Fun song but "I stepped ashore near Bangalore" really?! It's 200km+ inland ;-)
+Ba Bo He has long legs.
Alternate idea, perhaps he's saying Mangalore?
you r finding flaws in such a beautiful,but then also good logic applied
Ba Bo Thus, near.
The important thing is, it rhymes!
Haha love it but there's no place like home :)
Saw them a few years in Myrtle Beach
+crazedscotsman553 actually, historically, the Scots do speak Gaelic.
saw this in my calc class lol
these guys = cool
Which is funny, because the last fiddle player of Gaelic Storm actually quit because she was having a kid xD
Ah yes, The Google. The translator sucks though. "Ireland forever" comes out "Éirinn go deo" in Irish.
4 guys went home.
i lived in india and now i hear this lol
Love this song, but I have just returned from four months in India, if you were planning to go there don't.
+Norman Brendan I can relate, haha.

Most tropical places are really hell-holes, in general.
Mostly Delhi, I took short trips to a few other places.
Póg mo thóin!
Alba gu bràth!
