My mum would be 96 had she lived, but this was her favourite song. Her father Herbert Gregory Phibbs was a Collins man. Mums husband whose own dad was PJ was a first cousin to Dan Breen and also was involved with Collins. What a mess of a country we have now. Politicians who show nothing but contempt for ordinary people.

My great grandfather fled Galway for Boston in 1902 after killing a British soldier who had kidnapped and raped his baby sister. she survived but my great grandfather left the monster's pieces in Galway, Clare and Tipperary. A few months later a 16 year old girl who lived a few doors down also fled Ireland lying about her age and the two married a few months later. My great grand aunt joined a convent near Boston in 1910 or thereabouts. My great grandfather taught me his native tongue from my first word until he died when I was not quite four years old but as there was no one else to speak it with I lost that language and no longer remember a word of it. My great grandfather would sing this song with a tear in his eye every single time anyone would mention my great grandmother in his presence. I do remember in the version he sang that it was all about my great grandmother extoling her many infinite virtues. I know it's a war song today but to him it was a love song. I completely forgot about this one memory I had until I just randomly found Davey Holden's videos and watched his short describing this and then I had flashbacks going back to my childhood 60 years ago and now I'm the one with a tear in my eye. We here in America have nothing left of what made us Irish save our DNA and our names and scant oral history of those our ancestors left behind to deal with the British.

My great grandfather., who was born on the shore of a lake in 1880 in Galway and who came to America in 1902, used to sing this song every time anyone mentioned his late wife. my great grandmother who passed away before I was born. It must have been love because the version he sang would last for hours. I doubt he ever heard the later version of this song. To him it was a love song. But I did not know it's name until watching your videos. I only remembered the tune and that he sang it in Irish, the last in his family to speak the tongue. He taught me when I was a toddler but after he left us I lost the words having no one to share them with.

I learnt about Pádraig Pearse doing A level English Literature. W B Yeats poem Easter 1916 was instrumental in putting names to the fighters. Our teacher was an Irish nun so she fleshed out the story. My paternal grandfather was from Achill Island (Also connected with Grace O'Malley) and his wife told my mother of visits to the house by men from Ireland who had quiet conversations in Gaelic with grandad. These were never discussed. 😊 For all anyone knew they were discussing where jobs could be got.

The song was also intended promote overseas Irish in the Diaspora returning to fight the battle. Probably more from Great Britain than North America as travel from there still faced WWI restrictions. The first verse implies this. It's a great marching song.

Hello Davy! I just came across your channel, I'm a 42 y.o. man with a deep connection to Ireland (I was born and raised in Venezuela). You see, my mother's side is half irish and I was sent to boarding school there for a year. I visited most counties and a big chunk of my heart was lost in Co. Wicklow, never to be found again. I was catholic and then irreligious for almost 2 decades, then fell in love with eastern orthodoxy which brought me back to the irish saints like St. Kevin of Glendalough, St Brigid and many others. I now live in Costa Rica and long to set my foot on Ireland again one day. Thanks for your content! God Bless you!

Aren't you frustrated that independence never happened? Also, by "conflicts to attain independence" do you mean all the maiming and mutilating of other Irish citizens? The IRA killed ten times as many people as the NI police. And we're still British. Fecking incompetents. I heard we might become Irish if we spit on a frog resting a shadow. Truly! Or, I mean about as likely as it happening. America fucked it up for Irish Independence. They don't want it, they'd rather have it as a political chip.

"Bonnie" in this case just means "good", and shows the level of devotion that many Scots had for their Prince. Again, my thanks for a well done presentation. I enjoyed it very much!

He’s using the images of the wild geese by invoking a hero of Gaelic Ireland coming home with soldiers as a representative for us “exiles” coming to fight for Ireland

very interesting, thank you. I winder if a "welcome home" song was also a nod to the diaspora who could return to fight and the "Fenian dead" which were being returned to Ireland for burial.

One of the greatest Irish tunes

Gerry Adams came up to myself, my uncle and a group of Irish folk singers in a pub New York City, in 2004. He asked us to play “The Irish Song…” He meant this song, (Pearse’s version.) He scared my uncle and the other musicians, who were singing and playing exclusively Irish music. I knew which song Gerry meant, but I was younger then than you are now and I was invited to join my uncle so I didn’t start singing. Just the words, “play ‘The Irish Song’” coming out of Gerry Adams as he tapped my uncle on the shoulder and my uncle and most of the band looked frightened. Then the first song they played wasn’t the one he wanted to hear. So he said, “no play The Irish Sing.” Now, at this point the group has gone from being scared, to absolutely terrified. The Irish Champion Fiddle Player, then broke into a different tune that in the end was acceptable to Gerry. He was content with a Jacobite song, Mo Ghile Mear. That man is a bit intense, to put it mildly. He had a pub full of grown male Irish Folk Singers pissing themselves just by requesting “The Irish Song.” I was scared to do anything without a cue from the band, even whisper this song as a suggestion to my uncle.

I love the history within Irish music. Actually, one of my ancestors created the second (I think) biggest brotherhood organisation: The Fenian Brotherhood. My ancestors was John O’Mahoney, who fought in the American Civil War as a Colonel in the 69th New York Infantry Regiment, which is still active today, he was in many Fenian Raids in Canada, and served in the [Young Irelander] Rebellion Of 1848, and he was a partner with James Stephens. He was born in 1815 in Kilbeheny, on the border between County Limerick and County Cork, Ireland, which is also where my clan originated in: O’Mahoney (Also known as: Mahany, Mahoney, etc)

Love your videos helping me get in touch with my Irish lineage. My family came to America in the mid 1900s and we lost our culture. I’ve been learning the history of my family and the history of Ireland and I’ve been trying to learn gaeilge to get some of that identity back.

I read somewhere that the British soldiers put the words of "What should we do with the Drunken Sailor" to the air of this song, after hearing it in the streets of Dublin in 1916. If this is true it's highly ironic that in our music class in primary school, in the colonized and downtrodden North of the 1980s, Drunken Sailor was one of the songs we were made to sing.

@RoleKeeper 10 ай бұрын

Thanks I was thinking why this song sounds so familiar?

@johnroche7541 5 ай бұрын

People dont realise this but how can I put this delicately but the lyrics to "What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor" actually originally refers to a condition known as "Brewers Droop" which effects males who have consumed so much alcohol and it restricts them physically in terms of not going to "full mast" if we stick with a nautical theme. In short the alcohol restricts males from getting and maintaining an erection. Apologies if people think I have lowered the tone but in my defence I am giving accurate facts in relation to that well known Sea Shanty.

Well done Davey! Keep the stories coming. Every time I hear a new story it reminds me of the histories I was being taught at school in central Scotland in the early sixties. Later as an adult and after much reading and better understanding I realised that institutionally we were often misled! Inaccuracies would probably be being a bit polite. If only more accurate and honesty from the institutions that taught us, same schools for all children then perhaps there would be less division among working class people. Perhaps the establishments of my era in Scotland were very happy to keep us all devided. Education and truthful histories help us to properly understand our existence and also our future. ☘️
