Just for those who don’t know, the Shillelagh is a traditional Irish heavy walking stick/club, often made from blackthorn. It’s a brutal bludgeoning weapon, and when he says “my shillelagh I let fly”, it means someone is about to have a *very* bad day.
I sadly only know this cause finlay had one in WWE. when he was down, hornswaggle used to come out from under the ring and give him the shillelagh and turn the odds back on his side.
A Chinese man: England is great force that redirected massive lands such as our own. An Irish man: Aye, those cunts next door never get a clue, and now they're getting weaker than your rhino horn supply. Have some self respect guys. There's a reason why we became Loki's playground instead of PlunderFest for The Fromorians.
Randall Cotten Cuz the Irish are fighters, man. Give us a good reason to be pissed, and you'll regret it for sure. The last part of this song showcases that; the guy was given crappy conditions on a British ship back to Tuam, then the guys started making fun of Ireland. Nothing gets an Irishman more fired up than people making fun of his home country. Playing this over a Fight-Club-esque scene was a brilliant move on Guy Ritchie's part.
It fits perfectly with the scene, you're right. It fits well the change in image of Sherlock: not a wimpy little brainy guy. He's uses his mind to kick some butt. Just like the Irish.
I cannot imagine how much an Irishman would love this song. Even a Pakistani man such as myself likes the beautiful rhythm and emotion that lies inside this this sung song.
In summary: ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken, diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months. Capacity to spit at back of head: *neutralized*
Philip Killeen it's funny you say this. I went to Limerick in middle school on a school trip and lost my wallet with 80 euros in it (all the money for the week long trip).. 2 years later two policemen delivered it at my house in Rome Italy. With all the money in it. For comparison a girl lost her wallet years later in Manchester and all her info got immediately stolen. From then on I trusted the Irish blindly, and the English much less
I'am a german guy with a welsh name(Gavin). And i'am proud of my irish roots. I've never been in Ireland but i love this folk and his great irish folk music
I heard this song in Sherlock Holmes. Absolutely loved the music and the voice of singer but couldn't understand a single word. ( I am Indian and Irish accent is not my cup of tea) Searched for it on RUclips and was surprised to know that it was in english. Since then one of my bucket list is to sing along with this song. 3 years and still not able to sing properly but before I die I am going to do it, that is my promise to myself.
Well, I guess he was only in Dublin for like a day, he left immediately on a ship for Liverpool, and that's where he got in a fight with some Englishmen who were insulting Ireland (poor old Erin's Isle, as the song puts it)
Distract with handkerchief Block blind jab Fracture jaw Discombobulate Haymaker to ribs Block hook with elbow Completely break jaw Finish with a front kick Results two broken ribs one fractured jaw and a concussion (this isn't really accurate but I really wanted to do it)

I listened to this on repeat and spiritually became one with the stereotype of the angry Irishman who regularly beats up the English and dies of liver failure.
Is this song just about a bloke who leaves his home, has all his stuff stolen, hunts a couple of hares, somehow ends up in Liverpool and then beats up a bunch of locals with a couple of other lads?
+Pedro Bazaar Literally every single British person of Irish descent will tell you that's is absolutely how their Irish ancestor got to England. Including mine!
Suzanne copley No, he gets to Dublin halfway through the song, then he gets on a ship and goes to Liverpool and gets in a fight with a bunch of englishmen and some fellow irishmen. It's literally in the lyrics
RUclips recommended this to me and I was like “FINE I'll listen to it“, and now after three replays I kinda get the hang of it and I can already keep up with most of the words!

So i was listening some Irish music and 10 minutes ago i finished watching Sherlock Holmes. This song was in the movie and I was so happy because its one of my favourite Irish songs.

I always thought he said "and back to Donegal", as in that was where he started from, although I guess that's Ulster and not Connaught. Still, I dont want to sing "follol-de-dah" because it doesn't make as much sense as "Donegal".
Luke Kelly sings this song he was born and raised around the corner from me The Dubliners great band this and the Galway races in my opinion are their best songs
RIP (everyone except for Sean). These guys are the equivalent to Johnny Cash. And this comes from a very proud American. It can’t be understated their importance to folk music. Looking at you Ronnie Drew.
People are having trouble singing this but I'm here singing this in my head even though I'm supposed to memorize a German song and the "This is the a-ö of Iceland"

As a person whose first name and family name is directly correlated to ancient Ireland history, this song speaks too and means a lot to me.
I m french and when i was in dublin last month i was in a pub and i fight against a men then the same men buy me a guiness and sing with me on this song. Ireland he s a wonderful place
While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started
Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born
Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs
And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
A-one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking
Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay
Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs
I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
With a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
Thanks this is much better
One thing I don't get is how does one rattle over bogs, as they're wet boggy? Now, rattling over cobblestones I would understand.

So i was listening some Irish music and 10 minutes ago i finished watching Sherlock Holmes. This song was in the movie and I was so happy because its one of my favourite Irish songs.
This song puts fire in my blood like whiskey does. One of the best songs for an irish man with a drink in his hand to hear.
2 Guinness in the tank I start blaring this
I’m Irish ☘️ so I’m listening to Irish music on saint. Paddy’s day
The Dubliners - Rocky Road To Dublin Lyrics
While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started
Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born
Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs
And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
A-one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking
Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay
Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs
I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
And with a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray
And quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
I always thought he said "and back to Donegal", as in that was where he started from, although I guess that's Ulster and not Connaught. Still, I dont want to sing "follol-de-dah" because it doesn't make as much sense as "Donegal".
The lyrics are in the video.
....and this is why everybody loves traditional Irish music.
great gatsby!! what a thrill to hear this song no matter where or what I'm doing . cheers.
I have conquered Rap God, but now I must climb this mountain... May god have mercy on my soul
This is a new breed of lyrical and rhythmic madness
GoofballLOL it’s hard to sing when trying to sing with an Irish accent, I literally can’t sing this without putting on an accent
When you’ll be good with this one try la valse a mille temps ruclips.net/video/kS7AZ4_sOJM/видео.html
This is how my grandparents go to school. :)
This is a masterpiece.
It's about a man who walked from Galway to Dublin. He talked his way on to a boat and made it to Liverpool. We are Irish.
It does not get any more Irish than this. Makes me want to travel the rocky road to Dobelin.
Happy saint patrick's day
One day.. One day I will sing this.
IRISH PRIDE! this song is awesome.
Nationalism is not welcome here
@@korpzmarcelfranca6825 Shut up
An all time Irish banger
I am not Irish but I love this song!!!!
the song is great but its simply impossible to keep up with the singer. very hard to sing
I sing this song all the time..
Luke Kelly sings this song he was born and raised around the corner from me The Dubliners great band this and the Galway races in my opinion are their best songs
Really ?! Where are you from??? I am from germany and I can do it. I can sing nearly the whole song ... without lyrics.
+Lydiii keep_going haha Awesome! I love singing it at work. I'm from Texas, and I live in Maine. So a little ways away haha.
Lydiii keep_going Am I right in saying the Dubliners did alright in Germany, I think they gigged over there.

BAR FIGHT !!!!!! (smashes chair on the back of a random guy while getting hit with a whiskey bottle on the head)
(punch whiskey guy in the face meanwhile other kick his belly)
(hide under the table and drink the whole whiskey stock while others are beating the shit out of each others)
(comes in with M6 shoots up the place screams "For the Irish Republican Army")
This does seem like a song to play in almost any fight

RIP (everyone except for Sean). These guys are the equivalent to Johnny Cash. And this comes from a very proud American. It can’t be understated their importance to folk music. Looking at you Ronnie Drew.
addictive and sensational ..

If this don’t get those feet 👣 fae tapping - den ya ain’t got 🎵🎵in yer “soul”🍀🇮🇪
Loved the Dubliners since I was a kid.
People are having trouble singing this but I'm here singing this in my head even though I'm supposed to memorize a German song and the "This is the a-ö of Iceland"
I swear to all the rocky roads, I’ll have this song memorized by the merry month of May.
well have you then? >:)
oy!
@@rc_woshimao957 Only nearly, unfortunately. Very rocky roads.
1.5 speed makes it craaaaaazy ahaha
Tippier Sky speed x2 makes it hard to keep up ( not that’s its already hard)
I can do it until 1:20. That verse was tough.
Is it crazy that I can keep up with the speed and just barely do x2?
I reached 1:10 on ×2 but finished it on ×1.5
Me and my youngest brother played this at our aunties wedding, nearly everyone sang along with us
Whatever the mood the song always uplifts the soul.
Love this song especially when it was matched up with Sherlock Holmes movie
