David O'Connell, that's what I love about Irish Folk: it's not about how good you are at singing, but it's all about how much you enjoy singing. In general in singing the main thing is how much you enjoy singing, but in Irish Folk in particular, most of the songs are simple, easy, you don't need to be Pavaroti to sing them, but if you enjoy singing the audiabce will love your performance and in a pub or concert hall, which you are performing at will be such a great atmosphere, which can not be found in La Scalla or anywhere else.
I thought I knew every Clancy song. It’s a delight to find a new one sung when they were all together. Loved them forever. Learned to knit so I could have a sweater like that.
I can still remember my old dad singing this song to me and my little sister good old memories never forget the good old days love you all your old Aaron Boy xxxx keep singing
As a Turkish guy, I find Irish folk culture fascinating. Universal, true compassion for the fellow men and the beauty of our nature are underlined in subtexts in every song. This type of music has simple, pure human emotions vibrating all over the notes. Especially Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing feels like they are taking you to a trip. You are visiting the small towns in plains and hills of Ireland, smelling the grass and fresh breeze. One thing that single handedly adds so much authenticity and quality to the Clancy Brothers' songs is, that specific banjo-like instrument which sounds like cow bells at times. Its resonation is very authentic and drops you right into the old times, old towns and old tales. While these guys are the best in my opinion, also Luke Kelly is the closest one to give rise to such a feeling. And others are not even close in quality, at least the ones I already discovered. But, I'm sure of that this culture has many hidden treasures that can't be discovered over the internet.
Went last week to Dingle...I have to discover all version of this classic song now ; ) I like Tom's "sparkling eyes" so much! He seem really enjoy the moment and give the song a special feeling The bluegrass version by Roslyn is also really great!
@@gregoryslator647 Ireland brought no genocide anywhere learn your history the helped built it fought in both sides of they American war most of American presidents have irish blood so don't u dare blame the irish for other countries shit
It' s not of a bygone age. The singers change but the songs, stories and memories, which ignore borders, stay the same. That's why it's called folk music, the music of the people! RIP lads.
Tom was the "hardy heart" of the Clancy Bros. I loved when he introduced himself and his brothers on stage.... "..and last but 'most" I am Tom Clancy!" Too bad he ignored some of the early signs of stomach cancer... he may have been with us a bit longer. God Bless'em All!
i know this a 7 years late response stomach cancer is a bitch , it's has high rate as it suffers from the same issue many gastrointestinal cancers suffer from complex Lymphatic drainage . The best country performing against this stomach and Oesphogaus cancer Is Japan ( the most country affected with 2 times western rate ) ; and they do it with aggressive early screening and fibroscope . some Irish guy in the 80 ies stood no chance
This song was composed by a man from County Kerry ~~ Seán McCarthy R.I.P. in the early 70's. (His brother Mick used to own a famous folk pub in Dublin, Ireland ~~ The Embankment,Tallaght)
What a great period of time it was to grow up hearing the Clancy Brothers, and the Irish Rovers. Sadly, it was also a time of conflict in Ireland known as "The Troubles" (see Wikipedia). But the Clancys' music stands the test of time. And I think the "Troubles" are over (or just dormant ?)
God bless red haired mary i wish i had one, any red haired marys going spare i am looking for one to wed, on the bonus side i have my own hair and a few teeth and as me mother said i am easy on the eye xx

While going to the fair of Dingle One fine morning last July While going up the road before me A red haired girl I chanced to spy I went up to her, says I "Young lady My donkey he will carry two But seeing as how you have a donkey To the Dingle fair I'll ride with you" Now, when we reached the town of Dingle I took her hand to say goodbye When a tinker man stepped up beside me And he belted me in my left eye Chorus: Keep your hands off red haired Mary Her and I will soon be wed We'll see the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in a married bed Now, I was feeling kind of peevish And my poor old eye was sad and sore So I tapped him gently with my hobnail And he fell back through Murphy's door A policeman came around the corner And he told me I had broke the law Then, the donkey kicked him in the kneecap And he fell down and broke his jaw Then he went off to find his brother The hot biggest man you ever did meet And he gently tapped me with his knuckles And I was minus two front teeth The red haired girl, she kept on smiling "I'll go with you young man" she said "We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed" (last two lines of chorus): We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed Now, through the town we rode together My black eye and her red hair Smiling gaily at the tinkers And by God, we were a handsome pair (last two lines of chorus): We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
+mw10259 This was early in their great singing career, certainly nowhere near their last time together. I could not put a year on this performance but I would say early sixties.
This is fantastic, its like a grandfather singing to his grandkids, so much joy in his face, truly great man

This is Ireland 🇮🇪 let's never forget who we are ❤
The joy in Tom's face reminds me of my Father when he sang songs. Just lovely.

Tom is the happiest human when he sings this song!
That’s because he loves mischief, and knows the naughty ending for the song. He’s anticipating the great punchline.
A brilliant bunch of lads
Reminds me of da when he was into the bottle 😂
i can still remember watching them every st paddys... Im only 25 but i know that they dont make music like this anymore... Legends is right!
what memories... There will never be another group of lads like this
LOVE THIS SONG! What a great bunch of story tellers.
Patricia Raulino the best they be hard 2 get again this life time....
Joejoyce and the rest @@stevenhoran9104
I love liam's expression, he looks like a kid on Christmas day
My God I heard this so much throughout my childhood. Wish you were still here Dad.
As good as it gets. Tom Clancy owned this song. A superb ballad singer.
I used to get teased with this song for my hair...loved it anyway. Interesting to see Ronnie Browne of The Corries at the very beginning.
What wonderful great song. we are going miss these guys
Galway girl
Great Video, thank you o7 👍
I love this song so much my old Dad Sang it to me and my little sister good old memories😊 XXX❤

a song isn't just about singing it. it is about telling it. I think Clancy Brothers did a great job in bringing songs alive.
I can still remember my old dad singing this song to me and my little sister good old memories never forget the good old days love you all your old Aaron Boy xxxx keep singing
Can hardly believe they're all gone now! I grew up on The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. I knew the words to "Finnegan's Wake" before I could read.
They were played every weekend when I grew up.

+Suzanne Allaman The Roslyn version is brilliant, I love the fiddle playing on it, sweet.
Storytelling in a song, brilliant.
The undisputed best balladeers the world has ever seen and great Irishmen proud to be Irish
Makes me fiercely proud of my Irish ancestry. No American should ever forget that it was Irish immigrants that built this country!
Sheer Bollix it was a country before European or Asian brought Genocide to it we should hang our heads for our part in it.
goddamn right @anon nymous
Slaves from Africa, Jews, Europeans, Asians, Indigenous people and others just might have had something to do with it do you not think?
@@gregoryslator647 Ireland brought no genocide anywhere learn your history the helped built it fought in both sides of they American war most of American presidents have irish blood so don't u dare blame the irish for other countries shit

While in Dingle I HAD to listen to this classic!
Dan McGuire I envy you.
Beautiful!
been listening to these guys since i was a little kid..rip.
love this song it always makes me laugh, so sad they are all gone, bless them. R.I.P.
Amazing story tellers. Their stuff will live on.

Thanks. This is my favorite song and recording. Notice how his eyes go off to Dingle and the fair. I love it.
Sends shivers down my back
When telling a story through song makem and clancy take you on every step of the journey makes you feel as if you were there
This song was composed by a man from County Kerry ~~ Seán McCarthy R.I.P. in the early 70's. (His brother Mick used to own a famous folk pub in Dublin, Ireland ~~ The Embankment,Tallaght)
so much miss them.... tears!!!
LOVING THIS ALL NIGHT LONG,
Brilliant
Fantastic!!!!!
love u from india...

Ah, it's the melody Pecker Dunne used for 'Portlaoise Jail'. And I never knew the Corries had a TV show!
Fabulous
Tom Clancy showing the reason why there was a quartet. Great look on his face.
Written by the late Seán McCarthy from County Kerry. He also wrote Shanagolden (see clip on my channel) Lovely ballad.
Sean Mccarthy was my uncle, I grew up as a kid listening to his song's when he would come home to our house in Ballymun every Xmas
Great stuff,of a bygone age!
Good for you, Mary! A woman who knows her own mind.
Good old singer
Wish I could drink a Porter with Thomas Clancy himself!
God bless red haired mary i wish i had one, any red haired marys going spare i am looking for one to wed, on the bonus side i have my own hair and a few teeth and as me mother said i am easy on the eye xx
This is an old news. I remember that s from when was a kid, 60 years ago.
the girl i love most is a red head,this song a reminds me of her, she also loves irish music just as i do
Brilliant and funny!!

Who actually disliked this!?!?
While going to the fair of Dingle
One fine morning last July
While going up the road before me
A red haired girl I chanced to spy
I went up to her, says I "Young lady
My donkey he will carry two
But seeing as how you have a donkey
To the Dingle fair I'll ride with you"
Now, when we reached the town of Dingle
I took her hand to say goodbye
When a tinker man stepped up beside me
And he belted me in my left eye
Chorus:
Keep your hands off red haired Mary
Her and I will soon be wed
We'll see the priest this very morning
And tonight we'll lie in a married bed
Now, I was feeling kind of peevish
And my poor old eye was sad and sore
So I tapped him gently with my hobnail
And he fell back through Murphy's door
A policeman came around the corner
And he told me I had broke the law
Then, the donkey kicked him in the kneecap
And he fell down and broke his jaw
Then he went off to find his brother
The hot biggest man you ever did meet
And he gently tapped me with his knuckles
And I was minus two front teeth
The red haired girl, she kept on smiling
"I'll go with you young man" she said
"We'll forget the priest this very morning
And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed"
(last two lines of chorus):
We'll forget the priest this very morning
And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
Now, through the town we rode together
My black eye and her red hair
Smiling gaily at the tinkers
And by God, we were a handsome pair
(last two lines of chorus):
We'll forget the priest this very morning
And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
Im sorry great MEN!
A certain kind of ......... dynamite ;-)

WAS THIS THE LAST TIME THEY WERE ALL TOGETHER ?
+mw10259 This was early in their great singing career, certainly nowhere near their last time together. I could not put a year on this performance but I would say early sixties.
Couldn't be. They're much older here.
Not at all, at least the 80s maybe 90s
Couldn't be 90s as tom died in 1990
I wish I could wear that jumper, so boiling in it.
what concert was this
Does Bluegrass originate from Ireland?
Yes
Pretty sure these aren't the corries...
Didn't you see Ronnie Browne in the Audience? The Clancy Brothers&Makem were invited as guests to perform :)
