This gives me so many happy memories of my Irish Grandad from Clonmell, Jimmy Farrell (Big Jimmy). God I mist him everyday, the kindest, most adventurous, funny, and generous grandad a boy could have.
In 1992, a friend whose father organised the concerts took me backstage, so I had the honour to greet Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Sean Cannon and Eammon Campbell. Nice elderly men who had loads of fun in what they were doing.
Awesome song, I went to Dublin, Ireland this summer for the very first time and it made me want to go back there. It was amazing and It has become one of my favorite countries
Never tire of listening to the fabulous Dubliners. Ronnie had such a sparkle in his eyes and that voice is memorable. Each one had his own unique qualities and they blended incredibly well.
AWESOME... I'M SO GLAD I DISCOVERED YOU GUYS.. PERFECT...AS DRUNK AS I COULD BE.... YOUR DRUNK.. YOUR DRUNK.. YOU SILLY OLD FOOL...."PERFECT". LYRICS.. SHEER GENIUS...AND GREAT PERFORMANCE ON ST PATRICK'S DAY 2023.. AS DRUNK AS I COULD BE. On a windy night two thousand twenty three..!
a simple song, but so so catchy and easy to learn and tells it as it is for a lot of people, you know the first verse then ya know them all ;) but these guys performed it like gods, i've never seen anyone do it as good. RIP to all who have passed on. I thank you so much for all the memories and incredible music.
I'm what is considered a prod. I'm not. I love your music. I wish I could've told you when you were alive. But maybe your descendants will make sense of it. Absolutely brilliant. I love nearly all the tunes. Tbh I don't know were I belong. But your music makes me feel happy 😊
This song we listened in Zagreb in 90s. And in 2018 maybe, Irish man McCarthy who was in Siroki Brijeg in Herzegovina, sang this hit to lads crew in caffe Pajo, today I heard he passed away, r.i.p. McCarthy. 🙏
As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me" "Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?" Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk You silly old fellow, still you can not see That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me" "Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be?" Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk You silly old fellow, still you can not see That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before And as I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me" "Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be?" Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk You silly old fellow, still you can not see That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before And as I went home on Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me" "Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be?" Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk You silly old fellow, still you can not see They're two lovely Geranium pots me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more But laces in Geranium pots I never saw before And as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a head upon the bed where my old head should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me" "Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be?" Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk You silly old fellow, still you can not see That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before
As an Irishman who has sung this song deep in his cups manys a time, it gets bloody hard to remember what day you're on lol Generally when this is sung at a gathering, by the time you get a few verses in which day of the week you're on becomes a point of contention and the lyrics become more like "when I came home on Thursday ni...no, it's Thursday now. We just did Wednesday. Shut up John it's never Friday yet. Look, look, let's just go from Thursday, alright? Wheennnnn...."
Ronnie Drew was born to sing that song, it was just waiting for Ronnie who had the perfect voice and style of singing to come along and make it a brilliant song, just like Lee Marvin, with wandering star, no one could better it, and the same with the songs Ronnie sings, his voice is perfect for the songs,R.I.P, RONNIE, you were a legend.
Les paroles ont été adaptées en français par Graeme Allright avec pour titre "Ça je ne l'ai jamais vu" Belle interprétation de Ronnie et surtout jolie finale coquine avec "Never on sunday"
Funnily the song originates from Scotland or England rather than Ireland but the version The Dubliners sang was translated from Irish to English. An English song made famous in England by an Irish band.
@@TheDublinersOfficial It was a favourite of my Welsh grandfather (born in 1916) so I think it does originate from Wales, Scotland & England but Ireland did us proud with this version. Diolch, Thank-you and Go raibh maith agat xxxx
This is one of those! That make my balls shake and lick the floor not because of the statue but because he still is a god for me! Thank you so much. You will rule forever.
Is the slip up and response by the band at 1:57 deliberate? I'm sure I've heard him do this before in another recording of the same song. Last time I thought he had just made a mistake, but now I'm thinking it's part of the song. Or am I just overthinking it?

Well it's many a day I've traveled, a hundred miles or more, but me mother in-law with her wiskers on.... that I've frankly seen before!"
Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024! ☘ 🍀 🇮🇪 🌈
Cheers my friend from Shasta County
My late Mummy used to sing this, whilst doing her washing.
I have two Terracotta Geranium pots with laces on to remember her by..
🇮🇪☘️
haha
My grandfather used to sing this to me when i was a child 15 years gone rest his soul 🙏

Ronnie Drew. What a man! What a voice! The good-hearted fun and mischief in those eyes! Legend!
If you're not moved, then you ain't listening!
Or can't understand lol
Back again and again to The Dubliners! The gardions of Celtic Poetry and Music, heirs of Taliesin 💚
My grandad used to listen to this. I was a toddler. Great buzz. 🍺
My grandpa put my 18 month old self on the table and sang it while he clapped and I danced, so my mother said.
I saw a tribute to the Dubliners in Wimbledon Theatre in April this year. It was absolutely fantastic
I listened to this at university with my then lover and to this day I adore this beautiful music. I'm Czech btw, and she was Moravian...
Cheers to our Irish brothers!
Support from italy 🇮🇹🫱🏻🫲🏼🇨🇮
WAS LUCKY TO SEE LEGENDS OF IRISH IN DUBLIN. LOVE THE MUSIC, FROM A BRIT,

Sounds like a plan.
Good old Ronnie Drew has never left us with this great Anthem 🙂
Great singer, great man. Just love listening to him and the Dubliners. Are they all gone now apart from John Shehan?
Ik kan hier zo van genieten, is nog maar enkele weken dat ik deze muziek ontdekt heb, maar ik ben er verslaafd aan. Zo mooi.
Just brilliant. What a voice Ronnie had, and great musicians to boot 💚
Love my Irish family ❤
That instrumental at the end was gorgeous!
Yes “Never on a Sunday” was just the perfect ending 😊
@@georgenewlands9760
Never on a Sunday, is that a song title ?
@@oscaraiken5484A song title and a movie title
Love this band and Ronnie is fantastic

Haha me dad used to sing this when I was little
I'll echo that comment just class👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I believe there's a brilliant meta aspects to this song as the (drunk) singers mix up which day/verse is next. It might be the perfect drinking tune.
loved this so many years ago
Im very proud to be irish 🍻
Is the messages in the lyrics every time 🤣🍺🍻🥂🥃🫗🍾🍷🍸🍹🧃🧉
Magical
Irlanda.. El país más original de Europa.. Algún día iré...

Brilliant! I first heard it in about 1966 and I've loved it ever since. Ronnie and the boys just nailed it! Love and respect.❤🎉
