Lyrics:
"O Mrs. McGrath, " the sergeant said
"Would you like a soldier of your son Ted?
With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat
Now Mrs. McGrath would you like that?"
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
Now Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
And after seven years or more
She spied a ship come into the bay
With her son from far away
"O Captain dear where have ye been?
You been sailing the Mediterranean?
Have you news from my son Ted?
Is he living or is he dead?"
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
Then came Ted without any legs
And in their place two wooden pegs
She kissed him a dozen times or two
And said, "My God Ted is it you"?
Now were ye drunk or were ye blind
When ye left yer two fine legs behind?
Or was it walking upon the sea
That wore your two fine legs away?"
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
Now I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
A cannonball on the fifth of May
Tore my two fine legs away
"My, Teddy boy, " the widow cried
"Yer two fine legs were yer mother's pride
Stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all
Why didn't ye run from the cannon ball?"
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
"All foreign wars I do proclaim
Live on blood and a mother's pain
I'd rather have my son as he used to be
Than the King of America
And his whole Navy!"
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, with a too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

Bruce Springsteen is one the best composers and performers, with excellent songs and extraordinary style of music.. Warm regards from Argentina
Best version of the song I have ever heard. Absolutely love it.
heard this song over the years from various Irish singers and only recently came across this version from the Boss, he is the first artist that has sung it with real depth and feeling, the performance from the backing musicians was nothing short of brilliant , you could tell something amazing about was going to happen when you see Patti step away at the start, truly magnificent performance from one of the all time greats
Im irish and came across this recently. I whole heartidly agree with you. It was of Bruces version i listened to before other artists including Irish singing it. One word AWESOME
Seriously!!! I. Can’t. Take. Any. More. These just keep getting better and better!!!
This is absolutely fantastic… 3:06 is just chilling
Such a good album all round, and this probably the best of the lot - and even better live!
Wunderschön, typisch irisch - gefällt mir super - dieses ganze Festival !!!!!!!!!!
my favorite song from Bruce
Bob Dylan e Bruce Springsteen gli dei del rock!
How the music can be so amazing!
I AM completely full of Joy to BE hearing these wonderful songs
great performance thanks BOSS
Encore un super morceau que j adore, merci pour le partage, merci BRUCE !!!!!!

He is super....👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Thank you so much hopefully I'll see you in Tampa this year
The boss takes you to such depths .. I listen to him whenever life seems to much. Then he comes up with this stuff
Exactly. Only mental help one need, is to listen to The Boss. No matter his wealth, he's still so groundearthed and pure.
@@boyechristensen3073ciao amico!🙋😍😘💘🌅

Estoy " Abraiada ".!!!!!
Impecável apresentação!
Amazing
物悲しいメロディで、凄く好きな曲です。
Not just a nice rythm, which is what everyone else is already commenting about... but also a very meaningful text, with a lot more weight than the happy tunes or even the text itself may suggest. Very powerful (lyrics in the description btw)!
Im watching in.24 a lots of years sent i was young but i still like good mucis did i spell any of this right😅.
The Boss 💎🎸🎤🎹🎷 Love 💘
También música Celta.....????
Ohhhh............
Increíble.!!
Seeing these clips, it's easy to understand why he is rating it as one of his top five performances.
Amazing show. So glad he made it available.

"Now were ye drunk or were ye blind

"All foreign wars I do proclaim
Live on blood and a mother's pain
I'd rather have my son as he used to be
Than the King of America
And his whole Navy!"
Powerful anti war sentiment from a mother’s perspective.
მევასა ირლანდიური აი :)))
War , a rich mans trick ,
It's Mrs, Gra boss not grath ya don't pronounce the th...still great though
I'm not a fan of Bruce Springsteen , his version of this song though with this superb band is brilliant !

First
Nice try, sir, but nobody does this song as good as Tommy Makem
Seems he lost his legs today
Much as I love The Boss, this is a shitstorm of the original song. All that is left is the scrambled lyric. The tune, rythm and story have been ignored. It's far more upbeat in the original and lacks the logeurs of Bruce's song
Shut up you Asshole!
@@wisdom7119 Can't argue with intelligent, reasoned criticism
Works fine for me.
The Boss is lookin good!!!!🇹🇹💞
