This man is a legend in his every inch. His beard, his cigars, his glasses, his voice, his eyes, every thing about him's a legend. I hope his in Irish heaven now with all the good late Irish people :)
I was away in Italy when he died. I only found out 2 minutes ago this guy passed away. U know he's kickin it Irish style up there with Luke Kelly right now! U were a great artist. R.I.P.
He didn't just kiss the "Blarney Stone", he bit off a great big chunk of it! I hope Ronnie and Pat are watching over this world, and having a great bellie laugh. (27 masts)??? =Stefan=
As unfortunate as this song gones Ronnie Drew was the last of the Irish Rover. Ronnie May You Rest In Peace, and I hope you and Luke are entertaining all in heaven.
Actually some words are changed in this.....it's always been a cargo of bricks,and he skips from 7 to 9 for some reason,and its not on board of the irish rover,its in the hold of the Irish Rover,and it's Johnny Mcgurk not Mickey and also "Malones" first name is never mentioned but it is here,and the part about Dolan from Clare is totally new here.
I like anything Ronnie Drew does ... you have to admit though in the Pogues version there is nothing more priceless than Ronnie Drews facial expressions!
tonight at Bacione Bar Pattaya Thailand !!! only here you can listen The Dubliners !!!

How early is this version
"Dolan from Claire, with the strength of a bear" (Think these are the original lyrics anyone seen a copyright version?)
instead of "Your Man Mick McGann from the banks of the Bann"

@chengloki yup, 27 masts...and it stood several blasts as well :)
Although the original version claims 23 masts, and doesn't mention the porter...

I like this one better than the Dubliners and the Pogues version. I like the slower pace.
HaulAwayJoe 4 years ago
Agreed. Slower pace is right. Barney plays the banjo I think in this one because Ronnie only sings and plays gitar.
