Luke Kelly would be proud. A song covered by the Dubliners 60 years ago and is good as the day was first sung. Also the Spinners, a Liverpool group had a cover version.
Oh well, who wouldn't be a sailor lad a 'Sailin' on the main To gain the goodwill of his captain's good name He came ashore one evening for to be And that was the beginning of my own true love and me And it's home, boys home Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree Are all a-growing green in the old country Well I asked her for a candle for to light me up to bed And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do So then I says to her: 'Now won't you leap in with me too?' And it's home, boys home Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree Are all a-growing green in the old country Well she jumped into bed, making no alarm Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole nightlong Till she wished the short night had been seven years long And its home, boys home Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree Are all a-growing green in the old country Well early next morning the sailor lad arose And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold Saying, 'Take this me dear for the mischief that I've done For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son' And it's home, boys home Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree Are all a-growing green in the old country 'Well, if it be a girl child, send her out to nurse With gold in her pocket and with silver in her purse And if it be a boy child he'll wear the jacket blue And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do' Maidens, a warning take by me And never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee For I trusted one and he beguiled me He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee And it's home, boys home Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree Are all a-growing green in the old country
Absolute savageness! Raillery and drollery go beo! The playful side of Luke crossed with the waggish wit of a Jake Thackray. Talent boys, we've struck talent! 🤩😢
When I first heard this guy start singing I thought "What the hell...?" and almost turned it off. But for some reason I listened all the way through. After the third time, I realize it's now my favorite version.
Not sure if it's my favourite but Andrew Hendy has still achieved the impossible by taking on a song completely defined by Luke Kelly and managing to completely own it!

I am obsessed with these lads since I seen them supporting kneecap a while back....there brilliant
same brilliant
what a gig that would be
Only discovered the lads a few months ago.. where was I lol... when this Covid virus shite is over I must see these lads live
Saw them in Manchester on Sunday…
Raucous
These lads are deadly, definitely getting a following here is Aus.
Great bunch of lads now, fond of the stout and good tunes yuppa
Best version of this song. Love you guys
Great to see Freddy Mercury reprise his role in a Dundalk folk band.
lol
fuck it looks like him too
time to get a new joke
@@nohopeforthekids
Well how about the Freddy Uranus joke. It is not as often used…
Get yersels and your tunes and do some sets up here in the north of Scotland fellas
Class lads, real talent for once , wish you all success with this
Luke Kelly would be proud. A song covered by the Dubliners 60 years ago and is good as the day was first sung. Also the Spinners, a Liverpool group had a cover version.
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem had a nice version, too.
Great to hear great lads from Termonfeckin all the best.
Totally walloped. Yes Boys
Great new band modern Dubliners.
Oh well, who wouldn't be a sailor lad a 'Sailin' on the main
To gain the goodwill of his captain's good name
He came ashore one evening for to be
And that was the beginning of my own true love and me
And it's home, boys home
Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
Well I asked her for a candle for to light me up to bed
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head
She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do
So then I says to her: 'Now won't you leap in with me too?'
And it's home, boys home
Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
Well she jumped into bed, making no alarm
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole nightlong
Till she wished the short night had been seven years long
And its home, boys home
Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
Well early next morning the sailor lad arose
And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold
Saying, 'Take this me dear for the mischief that I've done
For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son'
And it's home, boys home
Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
'Well, if it be a girl child, send her out to nurse
With gold in her pocket and with silver in her purse
And if it be a boy child he'll wear the jacket blue
And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do'
Maidens, a warning take by me
And never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee
For I trusted one and he beguiled me
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee
And it's home, boys home
Home I'd like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
cannae wait to see yees play in Glesga toon when yer back oor in May :)
I LOVE THESE FELLAS!!!!
And a clip of ammunition for me little armalite.. on a boat.
Absolute savageness! Raillery and drollery go beo! The playful side of Luke crossed with the waggish wit of a Jake Thackray. Talent boys, we've struck talent! 🤩😢
Very class lads. Alot of yer covers are lively then originals. Love to hear yer own music soon 🎶 🎵 ⏹️
Very true. If you like their version, I'd also recommend checking out Kick Up The Dust's and The Skullduggers' versions. Very lively as well
Unbelievable keep it up lads

Charles hair looks like it was well slept on

TPM
The two brothers on the boat are Tpm who rap that song the lad with a moustache isn’t part of tpm
GWAN THE TOWN !!!

What’s wrong with his voice?
@@ConMan97 nothing at all
Not sure if it's my favourite but Andrew Hendy has still achieved the impossible by taking on a song completely defined by Luke Kelly and managing to completely own it!
He’s a good singer, his voice is just a little unusual.
Listen to "the night the gaurds raided Owneys" thank me after.
❤️
Savage
At the very least, we have here something cutting and memorable. I was going to say a new Ronnie Drew, but that's another kettle of fish.
omg love it where are they from?
Dundalk
Is the lead singer the same dude that's in TMJ?
Up Tipp - great stuff lads 👌🏻
Is this song on spotify..?
rember that tune but
What's the tuning and guitar chords ? Anybody know ??
Standard tuning
D,A,G F and B flat minor
He has a capo as well but that has more to do with how you sing
Ha didn't let you take the life jacket for filming? haha
Aren't you still banned from rte
Earsplitting
The guy with the woolly hat looks like Borat.
No one seems to know who these actually are lol. Look up the boys on the dole haha
lmao. quite different music now.
Guter Gesang, aber diese Klodeckelfrisur (Kuhfladenfrisur)!
Does their name mean they hit a woman called Mary? If so that is very sad.
no
How dare you call me an Irish traitor, I will show you what treason means, I was there in Dundalk, you have to be lucky always , wait and see .
id love nothing more than a full nation of catholics like thes folks
