I hadnt decided what to think of Paddy Reilly until this moment: Clearly a superstar!

[@jueylewisandthebrews]

Young Eamon the most underrated of the group, his mean mandolin definitely made the song

I cannot begin to explain what this song means to me. I was going through a rough rough patch in my life. Literally the only thing that kept me going was listening to this song way too loud, a big dip in my mouth, and driving fast down the highway singing this tune. It was literally life saving and will always be one of my favorite songs for that reason.

I bet the Isle of man women are proper rugged types who like a good traditional proper hard banging

This song saved my life too. Made me happy. Took me to another place in my mind. Gave me hope. God bless the IOM, its road races, and Guinness extra stout.

paddy reilly is a great musician

[@brianharman6797]

Epic, back of the bus tune :)

[@andrewwood940]

There's reasons there's not many cover versions of this. It's bloody hard to sing. Paddy reilly is a, unique talent.

If the craic wasn't ninety before, it sure was when they played this song.

Never knew this was where Christy Moore got the tune for "Weekend That We Spent In Amsterdam". Brilliant

[@mikeflanagan825]

Eeamon was peggin that banjo...

[@karthiksheshadri6600]

Ronnie Drew in the background made many of the dubliners songs even though he wasn't even the primary singer

[@davidhincks39]

Brilliant song

[@mepispax8245]

I had this song stuck in my head for 7 months I'm not even joking

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

That deep gravely bass voice of Ronnie Drew

[@mikemcgonegal1616]

I love this song, but I haven't figured what "peggin' the jar into her" means.

[@jackglossop4859]

I think it means plying her with drinks

[@grembo101]

Jaysus, listen to Ronnie!!!

[@turbosnail159]

[@bunionpain16]

McShane and Whack! True friends and brothers ! We need more like them!
