    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.

      @MrPjw5 9 років тому +102

      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.

    • @randallcotten5069
      @randallcotten5069 9 років тому +52

      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.

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

    ( 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.

    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

    The Dubliners - Rocky Road To Dublin Lyrics
    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'
    And with a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray
    And 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

      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".
