Erin Go Bragh
(traditional, arrang. J. Ferguson, Dec. 2013)
capo @ 2, 108 bpm
Intro: Am [add harmonics on D & G string]
V1.
Am Em G Am
Me name's Duncan Campbell frae the shire o’ Argyll.
Em G Am
I've travelled this country for many's the mile.
Em Am G
I've travelled through Ireland, an’ Scotland an’ aa,
Am Em G Am
and the name I go under's bold Erin-go-Bragh.
Interlude: Am [add harmonics on D & G string]
V2.
One night in Auld Reekie as I walked doun the street
a saucy big polis I chanced for tae meet.
He glowert in my face, and he gave me some jaw,
sayin’, “Whan came ye over, bold Erin-go-Bragh?”
V3.
“Well, I am no’ a Pat though in Ireland I've been,
and I am no’ a Paddy though Ireland I've seen.
But were I a Paddy, that's nothin’ at aa,
for there's many a bold hero in Erin-go-Bragh.”
V4.
“Well I know you’re a Pat by the cut o’ your hair,
but ye aa turn tae Scotsmen the minute you’re here.
Ye left yer ain countrie for breakin’ the law,
an we're seizin’ aa stragglers frae Erin-go-Bragh.”
V5.
“An were I a Pat an’ ye knew it was true,
or were I the devil, then what's that tae you?
Were it no’ for the stick that ye hold in yer paw
I would show you a game played in Erin-go-Bragh.”
V6.
Then the lump o’ blackthorn that I held in my fist
about his big body I made it to twist,
and the blood frae his napper I quickly did draw-ha!-
and paid him stock-an-interest for Erin-go-Bragh.
V7.
But the people came roond like a flock o’ wild geese
sayin’, “Catch that daft rascal; he's killt the police!”
And for every friend I had I swear he had twa:
it was terrible hard times for Erin-go-Bragh.
V8.
So I cam tae a wee boat that sails in the Forth.
I packed up me gear, and I steered for the North.
Sayin’, “Fareweel tae Auld Reekie, yer polis an aa,
and the devil gang wi’ ye, says Erin-go-Bragh!”
V9.
So come aa ye young people, wherever you’re from,
and don't give a damn tae which place ye belong.
I come frae Argyll in the Heilans sae braw,
but I ne'er took it ill bein’ called Erin-go-Bragh.

i love this song. a drunk scotsman used to sing this to me,pure magic!
Perhaps it'll make its way onto my next CD. Thanks for your support.
Best rendition of this song I’ve heard
Great song and great version. I think I am going to learn to play it on my guitar and sing it with the accent.
I was in oul' Reekie a few years ago, fab, faaaab city, loved it, didn't bump into any cheeky po-lice! Lucky for us! Glad the fella in the song set yer man right! Jesse, you would out sing all the bards in Edinburgh a 1000 times over. No lies there. They'd be damn lucky to have ya, as would we in Cork.👍❤
That's high praise, Mary. Thanks! I'd love to make it over to the UK and Ireland someday once my finances permit.
@@BardofCornwall You'd be more than welcome, Jesse.
Still the best version of this song done anywhere by Anyone !!!👏👏👏
Thanks for the support 😊
Your voice is so full of soul it’s breath taking
Thanks, AJ! I appreciate the support.
Bravo.
i love your awesome voice ... i hope you will visit germany one day and i got the honor to hear your voice live
great song .. irland forever ....
Before giving a daft rascal some jaw, take note of the shillelagh. Check. (Great tune and thanks!)
CATCH THAT DAFT RASCAL! fav line
I am a great fan of Dick Gaughan's version but this is very fine. The rhythm of your guitar playing changes the song and brings something new and somehow modern to this old song. And to hear the song in your wonderful deep voice is a treat.
Beautiful!!!
Absolutely awesome. I now play this track live. Many thanks Jesse ...
This is my favorite of all your songs I've listened to so far. Great job.
Fantastic! Hello from Boston!
Hey, thanks!
nice
This is outstanding, and, along with a lot of your other tracks has inspired me to play these at the folk clubs.
I was especially inspired by the Paul Brady track you did (Arthur McBride) and it has enabled me to now play it!
A big thank you from me!
top drawer as always! keep them coming
Awesome.
Another wonderful addition to my favorites list. Fine work as always, Jesse!
Big balls man, big balls. This is superb.
💪👑💚🇮🇪
The harmonics are a nice touch.
Ive had a tough time findin it too but ive seen it as "Duncan Campbell" and "The Shire of Argyll" but those seem to be rarer.
Recently discovered your channel through "A Chemical Workers Song". You have an incredibly unique voice. I honestly love your covers.
Thanks for the support, Albino Child!
Where can I find a man like this
NICE
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
lubię też Waszych szkockich bushcraftów;-}
Love this song (and your version). A great meeting of the Eastern and Western Gaels in the lyrics. The great Dick Gaughan your source for it I suppose ?
Wiesz, mieszkam w gorach, polskich Karkonoszach i uwielbiam Irlandie...Eirinn go Brách
@DHSEASON4
top drawer is just another way of saying how good the quality is......i.e.extremely good
nice song man, i like most of your stuff so keep up the good work. btw do you sing live anywhere?
Excellent sound - great singing & guitar sounds fantastic. I've watched 5 of your videos now. The video where you give signing tips was very helpful ! What make & model is your guitar ? Cheers ! I was the 111th like - just saying.
Fantastic version. Have you covered workers song yet? If not would love to see what you could do with it. Thanks
Nice rendition man, you remind me a little of Jim/James Malcolm the way you sing. Good job though, well done.
@FreeUlster top drawer? Is this some kind on new slang?
Anyone know another name for this song? Whenever I search it I can only find the rebel song by the same name.
Same tune as well.
I had the exact opposite problem...
Can this be played on a mandolin?
Hi Uriel, sure any song that can be played on guitar will also work on mandolin, though I find some songs sound better on one or the other.
@@BardofCornwall i know its weird to ask but can you do a video for it on youre mandolin .ps thanks always for replying youre a awsome musician and i hope one day i can be on You're level !!)
@FreeUlster I see, a chara
I want to freeze Jesse in this period.
