Well, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn And they all looked very happy in the morning Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks When he'd had too many Powers So sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving And he took the road for God knows in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn And ended up a barman in the morning I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away And some people left for heaven without warning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane When Jimmy came back home, he was surprised that they were gone He asked me all the details of the train that they went on Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked And he took the road for heaven in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain And we kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
I've noticed recently that when The Longest Johns are about to collaborate with another band or singer, they always seem to wear that band's shirt in one of their videos. And in Pleasant and Delightful, JD was wearing a Corridor Digital shirt... That must mean... Oh yes.

Discover The Longest johns after replaying ASC Black flag by the Leave her johnny leave her song, and what a surprise to hear one of my prefered song here!! i didn t know yet The smokey Bastard but i want to hear more of U!! Thx a lot bhoys u made my night happier
When I watch the premieres I get distracted by the chat so I always need to watch it another time - hopefully the algorithm likes that! The cat is still the best part but I'm loving the (Moby) duck cameos too 🐈🦆
I'm here before the premiere and I can already tell this is gonna be amazing! Edit: Anyone else think it's really nice that they reply to people in the comment sections?
I'm a fan of The Pogues but haven't listened to them in a good while (barring Fairytale of New York). Thank you for absolutely smashing my favourite Pogues song.
I do love this cover but as a Bar Manager and a whisky lover the bar used in the green screen at 2:35 bothers me. There's seemingly no organisation of those bottles, it's a mess and somebody should feel bad about it.
Such a wonderful song, I can't help but think of the friends that I won't be able to see again for a long time after going to university/college when I listen to the lyrics.
I was unfamiliar with the song, so I had to double check the lyrics to make sure I was catching them all (no Pokemon intended!). I see now that this is one of them "Irony" ballads, with a jaunty melody, and a depressing storyline. Good ol' Irony! Can't beat it. That "Meow" coda was perfectly in key, too...
This is fantastic! One of my favourite songs. Love to hear your guys doing punky stuff, your voices suit it well. Clearly JD is the only one who owns a green screen.
Love seeing you guys branch out in the folk-punk direction. Some of the bands that really got me into folk music were Fiddler's Green and Flogging Molly and I love that sound.
Gotta love the Pogues. I know this is an old video, and no one's probably reading the comments anymore, but on the off chance that one of them sees this.... What is JD's cat's name? He/she is so pretty!
Please cover more of the Pogues, your guys sound is unique and gives me chills when I imagine how you'd sing songs I've heard from my good old Dutch dad ♥️
Trying to kill me. I got Wellerman stuck in my head and was singing while commuting to work. Problem is I commute by pushbike. Cycling and signing is an unhealthy combination.
Hi Longest Johns, me and my friends wanted to Sing the Bones in the Ocean, it would be awsome if you made a tutorial sort of video, it would really help us!

I see JD made the mistake of sitting infront of a greenscreen
Trouble with sitting in front of a green screen is you can't just leave it green
define mistake
@@Mussoi7000 a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.
This is the opposite of a mistake
@@danekingrokabas4347 r/woooosh
Oooooh we are HYPE! 👌
COLM what are YOU doing here????
would be nice to have a collab with Colm and The Longest Johns
@@mystfang Yes!
Collab when?! :D
I’m sub to nothin fact
Everyone else: keeping it simple with their own places and their instruments.
JD: Reality can be whatever I want
😂🤣🤣🤣
I love all these hilarious comments about JD and the green screen. They just make my day! 😆
JD channeling Robbie silliness this time. Love it.
Guess who edited it ;)
JD is certainly getting his money's worth out of the green screen 😂
Loving the contrast between everyone in theirhomes/studio/recording space..... and JD having some kind of magial adventure ^_^
I'm enjoying the high percentage of bookcase/boardgames/lego display in the backgrounds
Yeah, trying to recognise a bunch as they appear breifly. It's a clever ploy to increase rewatching : p
These comments are friggin hilarious 😂😂
Well, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
When he'd had too many Powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
And some people left for heaven without warning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
When Jimmy came back home, he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
And he took the road for heaven in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
And we kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
Jd is a man of wonder flying throughout the world in a criss-cross postition
I 'unno, if you squint, you can almost see the line in a couple of those shots...
whoever edited this was having a blast with JD
Funny how Robbie's the one who went for a more normal background while JD, of all people, decided to do whatever the hell he did
I came in as a smokey bastard fan, and this is really different than their normal stuff. It's really good!
God I want this version on Spotify so badly!!!
They should add it to an album. I’d buy that record
grew up listening to The Pogues, and this is the only cover I've ever heard that comes even close to being good. you guys SMASHED it!
same here
This song has to be on Spotify!
I've noticed recently that when The Longest Johns are about to collaborate with another band or singer, they always seem to wear that band's shirt in one of their videos.
And in Pleasant and Delightful, JD was wearing a Corridor Digital shirt... That must mean... Oh yes.
Oh really? I haven't noticed that. Lemme check it out!
I looked through some of their stuff but I didn't see anything. Could you give examples pls?
@@scrimbles2973 I found a few examples!
The longest Johns made this! ruclips.net/video/7gaKX-C1hwg/видео.html
Robbie is wearing a Skinny Lister shirt, the band they collaborated with on the video right after that, here! ruclips.net/user/shortsUf1JInfQXvE?feature=share
In their Cruel Wars video here! ruclips.net/video/Dj_0Zz3eOhw/видео.html it’s…Robbie again! This time he’s wearing a shirt for these fine gentlemen in this here video, Smokey Bastard!
(Also if you haven’t heard it already, I highly recommend Smokey Bastard’s ARCHIPELAGO ;))
Corridor digital is the best ever. JD wore a corridor shirt whilst singing drunken sailor in the every black flag shanty video
jd in front of a greenscreen with the mando is SUCH a mood
Wow that green screen took JD on a few trips. Love Max's contribution at the end😁🤣
Most definitely Adequate 👏💙
This does the original fantastic justice. 👏
Hooray, thank you! The Pogues are amazing
@@thelongestjohns Hmmmmmmmm
Definitely Andy
NO
I'TS A RED HERRING
THE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
The accordion player could be Dave's older brother! Just has more beard & the tattoos that Dave still has to get - hint hint!! :)
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING
For a second I thought he actually WAS Dave
By far one of my favourite of the pogues songs
Discover The Longest johns after replaying ASC Black flag by the Leave her johnny leave her song, and what a surprise to hear one of my prefered song here!!
i didn t know yet The smokey Bastard but i want to hear more of U!!
Thx a lot bhoys u made my night happier
Adequate! And capping it off with a surprise Monty (Max?) is always welcome
Oh God can I PLEASE get this on Spotify it's sooooo good.
When I watch the premieres I get distracted by the chat so I always need to watch it another time - hopefully the algorithm likes that! The cat is still the best part but I'm loving the (Moby) duck cameos too 🐈🦆
I love JD being everywhere except his home... I'm laughing pretty hard right now!
Everyone talking about JD's journey
But nobody talking about Dave's poor attempt at getting a new identity
😂😂😂
Most adequate, JD, you surely do travel far away a lot!
That was great, Sally Maclennane is up there with some of my favourite songs of all time and this was a great cover of it.
That's quite the journey JD went on :D
I didn't know this song before, but watch it being stuck in my head for the rest of the week now!
IKR
Great fun!
Can't stop coming back to the video, just makes me so damn happy
This is so good. Especially love the cat at the end
He's a good floof
@@thelongestjohns The best!
@@thelongestjohns His name?
@@thelongestjohns the longest floof
@@scrimbles2973 I think that is Max. JD's other cat is called Monty
This was the great London party sing along classic back in my well spent youth. Great work!
That is the first time I listen to this with sober singers.... a significant improvement
That's the only downside of a great drinking song I guess, and this is a fantastic one
Wow, this is better than the original! The vocal harmonies add a folksy quality to the song that is very becoming!
I'm here before the premiere and I can already tell this is gonna be amazing!
Edit: Anyone else think it's really nice that they reply to people in the comment sections?
Hope you weren't disappointed
@@thelongestjohns I wasnt this was so good!
I'm a fan of The Pogues but haven't listened to them in a good while (barring Fairytale of New York). Thank you for absolutely smashing my favourite Pogues song.
Superb. You’ve captured the spirit without being a carbon copy.
This is hands down, my favorite rendition of this song I've ever heard and I especially love JD's bizzare adventure ;)
Something I didn’t know I needed
What beauts!! 😊😊
I do love this cover but as a Bar Manager and a whisky lover the bar used in the green screen at 2:35 bothers me.
There's seemingly no organisation of those bottles, it's a mess and somebody should feel bad about it.
Great collaboration, that was a lot of fun energy.
Such a wonderful song, I can't help but think of the friends that I won't be able to see again for a long time after going to university/college when I listen to the lyrics.
JD discovered chroma key yesterday haha
Loved the song, lads! keep the good work
AWSOME👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☘
My boys!
Yes my favourite Pogues song. Thsnks Dad
As soon as the flute kicked in, oh my god i fell in love
I'm so happy that they did something with Smokey Bastard! My two favorite shanty/folk bands!
Best thing I've listened to, all day
We need new music from the Smokey Bastard ! best discover ever at their show in France back in 2012 !
Great people playing a great song!!! 🍻
I was unfamiliar with the song, so I had to double check the lyrics to make sure I was catching them all (no Pokemon intended!). I see now that this is one of them "Irony" ballads, with a jaunty melody, and a depressing storyline. Good ol' Irony! Can't beat it.
That "Meow" coda was perfectly in key, too...
Woke up with this thought in my head: This song is the inverse of "Here's a Health to the Company" in almost every way, isn't it?
The fellow with the gravely voice and electric guitar is a true artist
Loved the song! Please do men of Harlech next! It’s a great song I think you’ll do great at!
JD be yeeted through the power of editing
love both of your groups, so happy this colab happened
This is fantastic! One of my favourite songs. Love to hear your guys doing punky stuff, your voices suit it well.
Clearly JD is the only one who owns a green screen.
FARRR AWAAYYYY
FAR AWAY!!!
I'm going to have to watch this so many times to thoroughly watch everyone! So so so good! Off for the third watch ;)
I think... I think I just found my new favorite song... I LOVE IT!
Love seeing you guys branch out in the folk-punk direction. Some of the bands that really got me into folk music were Fiddler's Green and Flogging Molly and I love that sound.
EPIC. Absoult prefection.
Great, and we can hear the words 😃 love you guys xx
This is gonna be goooooooooooooood
Nice! I loved Smokey Bastard’s Cover of The Cumberland’s Crew! Great collaboration
25 seconds in and this already rules, hell yeah
Gotta love the Pogues. I know this is an old video, and no one's probably reading the comments anymore, but on the off chance that one of them sees this.... What is JD's cat's name? He/she is so pretty!
oh my GOD. More pogues covers please! AMAZING!!!
I'm glad they finally got to collab.
Well done, lads.
This is great, I really need to listen to Smokey Bastard more often. Hope y'all do a US tour someday!
Bloody Awesome guys! 🙏 Keep it Up!
Please cover more of the Pogues, your guys sound is unique and gives me chills when I imagine how you'd sing songs I've heard from my good old Dutch dad ♥️
I would love to hear you guys (the longest johns) cover Black Velvet Band!
Love the star wars merch in the background
One of my favourite songs ever! Great cover guys!
Vaya puto temazo. Greetings from the basque country in the iberian peninsula
This is an amazing style I’ve listened to this move than the original fantastic job lads
WHAT A LOVELY COLAB I LOVE YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING
Trying to kill me. I got Wellerman stuck in my head and was singing while commuting to work. Problem is I commute by pushbike. Cycling and signing is an unhealthy combination.
Some vibes of Banks of Roses, so good to listen ! ⚓
What a bloody earworm! brilliant
well, this was amazingly fun!
Cracking cover and great to hear the Smokey boys again!
This is an amazing cover! Just listening to it feels like I have a pint in my hand and I'm about to pick a fight. I love it!
Great work guys!☠️☠️☠️☠️
nice, now i have a reason to go to my favorite irish pub with thi song in my earpods
Yes.... ❤❤
Awesome! I’ll have to learn the words to this.
With u there
I love folk rock
Two of my favourite bands, fucking love it!
Now this slaps hard! Good job lads!
I love you guys so much! Your music makes me so happy!
When you lower your math teacher on zoom to listen to the longest johns 👌
Great video!
Hi Longest Johns, me and my friends wanted to Sing the Bones in the Ocean, it would be awsome if you made a tutorial sort of video, it would really help us!
We need this as a ep! Brilliant as well as you amazing version of rocky road to Dublin
