This would bring tears to an onion. Just love where Luke turns his voice down and gives Barney his due. Even at the end Barney McKenna the first words spoken. Legends each and every one them. God rest them all.

This is a great performance. There is sincerity and consideration on the part of Luke to not overwhelm Barney. Ronnie always had a deep voice. Barney could cut through him. Luke was very kind in this instance when he could have buried Barney.

It would nice to see John Conolly (an Englishman born in Lincolnshire, and still alive and singing!) noted as the author of this this song. I suspect that he'd be honoured that people think of it as "traditional", but, still, it's good also to honour those who write great songs. Oh, and the Dubliners, spot on as usual :-)
@rapier19544 жыл бұрын
Connolly is an Irish surname. England has plenty of Irish-Anglos.The same as Ireland has had a string of Anglo-Irish such as the Duke of Wellington, who made the point when being referred to as Irish that he was not because if he was born in a barn wouldn't make him a horse.
@andrewwigglesworth30303 жыл бұрын
@@rapier1954 Here we go again. As I noted elsewhere, there are plenty of Irish people with surnames that originated in England. Does that mean they are not Irish? John Conolly (note the spelling) describes himself as coming from a long line of Grimsby fishermen (and women of course, who worked on-shore). Why are you determined to deny this and pretend he's something that he is not? btw. by your same methodology would you claim that Ronnie Drew might have been English? The idea is stupid.

@@andrewwigglesworth3030 Well there are plenty of people in England who have Irish roots and vice versa. After generations in any place say America for example people become part of the local culture that is a given. They would consider themselves to be American even though they have roots that originate elsewhere. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive just like some people can chew gum and walk at the same time although I doubt you are one of them.

As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair To view the salt waters and take the salt air I heard an old fisherman singing a song Oh, take me away boys me time is not long Wrap me up in me oilskin and Jumber No more on the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates And I'll see you someday on Fiddlers Green Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell Where the sky is all clear and the dolphins do play And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do And the skipper's below making tea for the crew Now when you're in dock and the long trip is through There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free And there's bottles of rum growing from every tree Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea I'll play me old squeeze-box as we sail along With the wind in the riggin to sing me a song
