I cannot imagine how much an Irishman would love this song. Even a Pakistani man such as myself likes the beautiful rhythm and emotion that lies inside this this sung song.
Just for those who don’t know, the Shillelagh is a traditional Irish heavy walking stick/club, often made from blackthorn. It’s a brutal bludgeoning weapon, and when he says “my shillelagh I let fly”, it means someone is about to have a *very* bad day.
I sadly only know this cause finlay had one in WWE. when he was down, hornswaggle used to come out from under the ring and give him the shillelagh and turn the odds back on his side.
Randall Cotten Cuz the Irish are fighters, man. Give us a good reason to be pissed, and you'll regret it for sure. The last part of this song showcases that; the guy was given crappy conditions on a British ship back to Tuam, then the guys started making fun of Ireland. Nothing gets an Irishman more fired up than people making fun of his home country. Playing this over a Fight-Club-esque scene was a brilliant move on Guy Ritchie's part.
It fits perfectly with the scene, you're right. It fits well the change in image of Sherlock: not a wimpy little brainy guy. He's uses his mind to kick some butt. Just like the Irish.
A Chinese man: England is great force that redirected massive lands such as our own. An Irish man: Aye, those cunts next door never get a clue, and now they're getting weaker than your rhino horn supply. Have some self respect guys. There's a reason why we became Loki's playground instead of PlunderFest for The Fromorians.
I'am a german guy with a welsh name(Gavin). And i'am proud of my irish roots. I've never been in Ireland but i love this folk and his great irish folk music
Philip Killeen it's funny you say this. I went to Limerick in middle school on a school trip and lost my wallet with 80 euros in it (all the money for the week long trip).. 2 years later two policemen delivered it at my house in Rome Italy. With all the money in it. For comparison a girl lost her wallet years later in Manchester and all her info got immediately stolen. From then on I trusted the Irish blindly, and the English much less
In summary: ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken, diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months. Capacity to spit at back of head: *neutralized*
I heard this song in Sherlock Holmes. Absolutely loved the music and the voice of singer but couldn't understand a single word. ( I am Indian and Irish accent is not my cup of tea) Searched for it on UA-cam and was surprised to know that it was in english. Since then one of my bucket list is to sing along with this song. 3 years and still not able to sing properly but before I die I am going to do it, that is my promise to myself.
I m french and when i was in dublin last month i was in a pub and i fight against a men then the same men buy me a guiness and sing with me on this song. Ireland he s a wonderful place
Distract with handkerchief Block blind jab Fracture jaw Discombobulate Haymaker to ribs Block hook with elbow Completely break jaw Finish with a front kick Results two broken ribs one fractured jaw and a concussion (this isn't really accurate but I really wanted to do it)
Conor Sullivan Well, eventually this is the most effective way to deal with a bigguy for Sherlock Holmes himself. And many martial arts artists also agreed with this (although the "distract him/her" part was sounds little bit cheating). Good luck with that, buddy (^_^)v
While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin A-one, two, three, four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight next morning blithe and early Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin' They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city So then I took a stroll, all among the quality Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin' 'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah From there I got away, me spirits never falling Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing Captain at me roared, said that no room had he When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin' With a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
Well, I guess he was only in Dublin for like a day, he left immediately on a ship for Liverpool, and that's where he got in a fight with some Englishmen who were insulting Ireland (poor old Erin's Isle, as the song puts it)
i was a student in irish school in 2014, and staff took us to irish pub to show their culture and they played this music so i felt the vibe and fell in love with this music now im in moscow listening this and still in love

I always thought he said "and back to Donegal", as in that was where he started from, although I guess that's Ulster and not Connaught. Still, I dont want to sing "follol-de-dah" because it doesn't make as much sense as "Donegal".
UA-cam recommended this to me and I was like “FINE I'll listen to it“, and now after three replays I kinda get the hang of it and I can already keep up with most of the words! It's still a new song to me, but once it gets familiar I guess I can sing it by myself and perform it as a party trick. And I'm German, I'm not even Irish or English lol.
So i was listening some Irish music and 10 minutes ago i finished watching Sherlock Holmes. This song was in the movie and I was so happy because its one of my favourite Irish songs.
Ladies and gentleman, i am extremely proud to announce to say... *THAT I SANG THE WHOLE SONG WITH THE SINGER WITHOUT MAKING ONE MISTAKE!!* Thank you for reading this👊😉
@@46.do1 just keep listening to it repeatedly and always read the lyrics and eventually you will have it all memorised in no time also slow down the video a little if you need to 👍
While sober: miss every word while drunk: singing without looking at lyrics. This is not a joke, it’s easier for me to sing this while drunk Edit: I did very scientific experiment, I’ve tried to sing this while sober and I was missing about every fourth word, the next day after I drank some whiskey I haven’t miss a single word Edit2: made 3 years after me originally postind this comment. I am a slav, my famillly is Polish 5 generations back probably more, I have 0 Irish blood in me
I listened to this on repeat and spiritually became one with the stereotype of the angry Irishman who regularly beats up the English and dies of liver failure.
RIP (everyone except for Sean). These guys are the equivalent to Johnny Cash. And this comes from a very proud American. It can’t be understated their importance to folk music. Looking at you Ronnie Drew.
Is this song just about a bloke who leaves his home, has all his stuff stolen, hunts a couple of hares, somehow ends up in Liverpool and then beats up a bunch of locals with a couple of other lads?
+Pedro Bazaar Literally every single British person of Irish descent will tell you that's is absolutely how their Irish ancestor got to England. Including mine!
Suzanne copley No, he gets to Dublin halfway through the song, then he gets on a ship and goes to Liverpool and gets in a fight with a bunch of englishmen and some fellow irishmen. It's literally in the lyrics
Luke Kelly sings this song he was born and raised around the corner from me The Dubliners great band this and the Galway races in my opinion are their best songs
Nicholas Kattar This song was actually a background song in one of the fight scenes where Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock was fighting a guy a good two heads taller than him. He won the fight and all the betters went silent.
Tunedoll I know, despite it being in a very small part of the movie it still reminds me of the vast amount of comic relief there is in Sherlock Holmes.
I found a rare Clancy Brothers vinal at a goodwill in CA with some other Irish sounds. It changed my life. As soon as I go down to mexico and find a beauty I can care with I'll have it shipped to me in my dreams
People are having trouble singing this but I'm here singing this in my head even though I'm supposed to memorize a German song and the "This is the a-ö of Iceland"
That feeling you get when you don't miss a single word
It's in the blood
What is it, I've been trying for hours
BeastModeJ J Good one bro good one I wonder would he share that feeling 😂📸✌️.

Thats right only full blooded Irishman can sing along to this
Most Irish people can’t the Dubliners were a special group
Ik just playing I'm just happy I can
No need
English isn't even my first language and I sing along well 😂😂
I have sung it no mistakes and I am only 80% Irish that still proves your point

MrPjw5 Sherlock Holmes, right? I just saw the movie and looked up the music. I wonder why this particular song was chosen...

Randall Cotten That's another thing about us; we can be quite clever when the situation demands it :)
MrPjw5 *me self
Folk music at its best. A historical piece of poetry, set to music, giving us a glimpse into history. Beautiful.
I've done it. It took me TWO weeks but I managed to memorize the entire song. Now this is something I consider an achievement.
do you still remember it 1 year later?
@@florpyjohnson9531 What's funny is I still do, apart from the rocky road to dublin I also now now whiskey in a jar along I'll tell me ma
It's one hell of a job, an'i'm just halfway through it. It's worth every word though.
Congrats to ya!!!
Well done. Galway Races next then!

I don't know why Irish music turns me so on.
Greetings from Spain, my friend.

Same here, my friend. Greetings from DR.

@@travisreed1730 you spelt that all wrong.. tricky though must say
While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started
Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born
Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs
And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
A-one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking
Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay
Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs
I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
With a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
Thanks this is much better
One thing I don't get is how does one rattle over bogs, as they're wet boggy? Now, rattling over cobblestones I would understand.
Trying to learn this song made me discover that it takes a great amount of breath control and vocal dexterity. Luke Kelly was an amazing singer.
Anyone here in 2024 😊
🇮🇪❤️
Nah, we all died.
Wak-fol-lol-de-ra
I'm here since 2019
So basically he left home to go to Dublin, had a shit time, started a brawl and all was good. ayyyy
Yeah, pretty much..also he drank along the way, of course he's irish
Well, I guess he was only in Dublin for like a day, he left immediately on a ship for Liverpool, and that's where he got in a fight with some Englishmen who were insulting Ireland (poor old Erin's Isle, as the song puts it)
ayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
he didn't start it
Galway bais were by thankfully.
Irish music is awesome.
I love having a dad that runs a band its called
"Burst Suprestion"
its an awesome band!
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it in the Sherlock Holmes fight scene.
Rappers have NOTHIN' on this!! Quality, speed, beauty, whoo!!
Me, five years of trying, can almost sing this through with no mistakes. Dream big laddies, you can do it

I always thought he said "and back to Donegal", as in that was where he started from, although I guess that's Ulster and not Connaught. Still, I dont want to sing "follol-de-dah" because it doesn't make as much sense as "Donegal".
The lyrics are in the video.
Was it unusual that my father sang this to me as a lullaby as a baby to toddler? And I'm Canadian with Irish decedents.
"with Irish descendents" I think you mean ancestry.
julianarwen or of irish decent
GibletPlays or of Irish descent
I have Irish decadence.
I...
It's hard it's a hard to sing
This song puts fire in my blood like whiskey does. One of the best songs for an irish man with a drink in his hand to hear.
UA-cam recommended this to me and I was like “FINE I'll listen to it“, and now after three replays I kinda get the hang of it and I can already keep up with most of the words!
It's still a new song to me, but once it gets familiar I guess I can sing it by myself and perform it as a party trick.
And I'm German, I'm not even Irish or English lol.
Now do it on x1.25 or x2 speed
So i was listening some Irish music and 10 minutes ago i finished watching Sherlock Holmes. This song was in the movie and I was so happy because its one of my favourite Irish songs.
I'm glad I live in a country where I can get so many cultures in one area like this one. One day I'll visit you Ireland! Till then I'm here in America
Ladies and gentleman, i am extremely proud to announce to say...
*THAT I SANG THE WHOLE SONG WITH THE SINGER WITHOUT MAKING ONE MISTAKE!!*
Thank you for reading this👊😉
What’s the trick bro ?
👊
@@46.do1 just keep listening to it repeatedly and always read the lyrics and eventually you will have it all memorised in no time also slow down the video a little if you need to 👍
I love irish accent and culture of ireland and liverpool
Greetings from South America
Irish accent not English.
biggemick he surely meant UK, no need to be an asshole about it. Greetings from another south american
Ireland is not in the UK "asshole"
biggemick en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
???????????? your point
This is my favorite version.
It does not get any more Irish than this. Makes me want to travel the rocky road to Dobelin.
great gatsby!! what a thrill to hear this song no matter where or what I'm doing . cheers.
I’m Irish ☘️ so I’m listening to Irish music on saint. Paddy’s day
Imagine a whole field full of people singing this.... that is my dream
While sober: miss every word
while drunk: singing without looking at lyrics.
This is not a joke, it’s easier for me to sing this while drunk
Edit: I did very scientific experiment, I’ve tried to sing this while sober and I was missing about every fourth word, the next day after I drank some whiskey I haven’t miss a single word
Edit2: made 3 years after me originally postind this comment. I am a slav, my famillly is Polish 5 generations back probably more, I have 0 Irish blood in me
I can sing it perfectly, faster than them, without watching lyrics. (While being sober)
It's the Dublin Sobriety Test. If you can sing it flawlessly, you're DEFINITELY not sober.
@@Iamafishproductions no, I sing it flawlessly better than original, while being 100 percent sober
Me too brother why ?I sing better with whiskey in the brain
Hey if you THINK you're singing better, you ARE right?
I have been looking for this particular version for over a year. THANK YOU
Irish blood here, great grandparents from Belfast. Cheers
Orange bastards!!
One day.. One day I will sing this.
I listened to this on repeat and spiritually became one with the stereotype of the angry Irishman who regularly beats up the English and dies of liver failure.
I am not Irish but I love this song!!!!
RIP (everyone except for Sean). These guys are the equivalent to Johnny Cash. And this comes from a very proud American. It can’t be understated their importance to folk music. Looking at you Ronnie Drew.
Tuam to Dublin is quite the journey, good on ye lad
Is this song just about a bloke who leaves his home, has all his stuff stolen, hunts a couple of hares, somehow ends up in Liverpool and then beats up a bunch of locals with a couple of other lads?
Selvinski Wilhelm Pretty much. And he at some point, very briefly, visits Dublin.
+Pedro Bazaar Literally every single British person of Irish descent will tell you that's is absolutely how their Irish ancestor got to England. Including mine!
+ArtemisScribe My ancestors on my mothers side left Ireland because they were dirt poor potato farmers who came to America in search of a better life.
+TheNerdLord And that's why we live in America.
Suzanne copley No, he gets to Dublin halfway through the song, then he gets on a ship and goes to Liverpool and gets in a fight with a bunch of englishmen and some fellow irishmen. It's literally in the lyrics
As an Anglo of European/Irish descent, but Canadian...
I understood 100%
This is a masterpiece.
Crawled here fron sherlock cause I enjoy the song. Its great
This is s crackin' tune to dance to with a big culchie lass from County Galway at a wedding in Loughrea. I miss you, Siobhan!
addictive and sensational ..
greeting from India _/\_
IRISH PRIDE! this song is awesome.
Nationalism is not welcome here
@@korpzmarcelfranca6825 Shut up
I have conquered Rap God, but now I must climb this mountain... May god have mercy on my soul
This is a new breed of lyrical and rhythmic madness
GoofballLOL it’s hard to sing when trying to sing with an Irish accent, I literally can’t sing this without putting on an accent
When you’ll be good with this one try la valse a mille temps ua-cam.com/video/kS7AZ4_sOJM/v-deo.html
Whatever the mood the song always uplifts the soul.
Loved the Dubliners since I was a kid.
Love this song especially when it was matched up with Sherlock Holmes movie
the song is great but its simply impossible to keep up with the singer. very hard to sing
I sing this song all the time..
Luke Kelly sings this song he was born and raised around the corner from me The Dubliners great band this and the Galway races in my opinion are their best songs
Really ?! Where are you from??? I am from germany and I can do it. I can sing nearly the whole song ... without lyrics.
+Lydiii keep_going haha Awesome! I love singing it at work. I'm from Texas, and I live in Maine. So a little ways away haha.
Lydiii keep_going Am I right in saying the Dubliners did alright in Germany, I think they gigged over there.
I was sober 45 seconds ago and now I’m tripping over me own arse
I went to Ireland 4 days ago and they played that song in a pub, and next drunken sailor and it was amazing
The Emerald Piper... It's an Irish bar where it's St. Patrick's Day forever! And the Irish... They were winning every roll!
proud to be Irish. this is a powerful tune ,up the Dub's (:
Yuppa
Drinking a 2 Liter pint of Guinness and listening this 😋🇵🇱❤️
My garden gnome listened to this and became a leprechaun.
Stfu
@@ryanpower281 you responded to a year old comment to say stfu? Really?
@@ASmartNameForMe yes
@@ryanpower281 Pretty cringe bro...
Lmao
Incredible with the banjo / we owe so much to the Irish ☘️/ that happy feeling they’re blessed with /
It's about a man who walked from Galway to Dublin. He talked his way on to a boat and made it to Liverpool. We are Irish.
This is how my grandparents go to school. :)
Amazing song
Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes' weirdness/craziness
Nicholas Kattar This song was actually a background song in one of the fight scenes where Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock was fighting a guy a good two heads taller than him. He won the fight and all the betters went silent.
Tunedoll I know, despite it being in a very small part of the movie it still reminds me of the vast amount of comic relief there is in Sherlock Holmes.
2:07 "I began abusing Harambe"
Fuck you... ahahahhahahahahahah now i cant hear the same thing... Ahahhahahahahah
Lmfao 🤣😭😂🤣😭😂🤣😭😂🤣😭😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

It's actually bright and early not light and airy easy to miss if your not irish but still a good video
'If you want to learn English properly you gotta sing the chorus of this song by listening to it once' quote by luke Kelly

An all time Irish banger
I found a rare Clancy Brothers vinal at a goodwill in CA with some other Irish sounds. It changed my life. As soon as I go down to mexico and find a beauty I can care with I'll have it shipped to me in my dreams
This song makes me wanna discombobulate someone
👋*discombobulate*👋

People are having trouble singing this but I'm here singing this in my head even though I'm supposed to memorize a German song and the "This is the a-ö of Iceland"
I still had my youtube set on twice the speed. oh BOY.
love from the Greeks. We hope you unite your beautifulll isle!
Loving it all the way from Africa
