  • Ronnie Drew at his 'rebel' best! He doesn't just sing the song - he feels, expresses and means every word. Irreplaceable talent! (P.S. an' I'm a Brit!)

  • I love this song but "taken by force" as i've heard said is not "stolen". It is WON.

  • what can you say about that performance,oh i am a merry ploughboy " i'll always be one , may your god be with you , love this band

  • Ronnie, Luke and Ciaran are up there in the clouds singing away.

    God rest ye, and we will be up there sometime to see ye in a great concert.

  • Just what ever was so great about Britain running around the world enslaving and exploiting the poorer people with less technology and military hardware. Furthermore, we well know that the kingdom was united by force making it a union without unity. The whole business has always been preposterous this putting the word Great or United in the name of your country when you are neither.

  • The merry ploughboy in Rathfarnham, a proud area of dublin that opposed the British, the home of Padraig Pearse.

  • im sorry might of been said before but to see ronnie over Luke is just one pissed up night GONE FUCKING WORNG !!!

  • This is the best thing I've seen. Up the RA. Brits out

  • the first song i hear from ireland it was 65

  • well we kicked the brits out of the USA 1776 lol we tore them up and saved them in W.W 2

  • @braddelong100 its not really the brits, its the english cleverly brainwashing and using the other nations to fight for them. ANcient history of these isles reveals much truth and legacy

  • @3tangle3 yeah, cos you irish cock suckers are just poor little innocent people who would never do wrong. and the last sentence makes no sense you illiterate CUNT

  • @scafs68 Everyone I met in Wales likes the irish, so how are they anti british?? the welsh and cornish are the brythonic cultures - the original brits......the english cultured ppl are germanic....I dont understand?? history is very corrupted

  • @3tangle3 Have the Welsh and Cornish Celts had 800yrs of slaughter,tyranny,occupation?.

    If you look in an Irish history book you wont see the Brit version of history as they want the world to see it.

  • @MurrintownLad do you know any history of wales or cornwall!!!!!!..............th­e cornish definitely suffered about 1000 years..........1420 was a genocide of 10% of the cornish population by german mercenaries by King henry....just cos you aint heard of it doesnt mean it didnt happen..............dont even get me started on the welsh..........they werent allowed to live in towns or farm anywhere below 800 feet until 1500s (unless they corrupt anglicised types)

  • @3tangle3 Your a total tit lad,the song and discussion is about Ireland,Ireland is an ancient celtic nation,wales and cornwall(also celtic lands)surrendered to the british crown,Ireland in case you dont know is an island off the west coast of britain and is independant of what is now the uk.

    What the scots and welsh and cornish did has no bearing on Ireland,you mention kings,King Brian Boru was the last king of the 4 provinces that are Ireland,stick to brit history lad.

  • @MurrintownLad hmm excuse me I have studied genetical histories of Britain for 6 years at uni your facts are basic knowledge to me....my great gran was caned for speaking welsh in school at the age of 9 by the state.............so you are insultung here name when you claim the welsh never sufffered...............the welsh had no rights culturally really until one act in 1960s and the 1993 welsh language act

  • @3tangle3 i feel sorry for your gran for getting caned for speaking in her mother tongue,but your mixing up getting caned in wales with other grans getting shot and their homes burned to the ground in ireland,you seem incapable of differenciating between the island off the west coast of britain and a member of the united kingdom.

    and by the way the welshmen in the regiment were happy to kick the living shit out of irish nationalists in the occupied 6 counties during the troubles.

  • @MurrintownLad you equally know little of british history, any cornishman who knows his history knows of the suffering received after the prayer book rebellion

  • @3tangle3 Get a grip mate,im not cornish,i know the cornish people class their county as a kingdom within a kingdom etc,but this video is about ireland and about a young irish lad joining the fight for irish freedom,do try and keep up.

  • @MurrintownLad "you're* a total tit* dont insult people....of course I know about the irish slavery...the burning of 2 irish prisoners at the stake in the 1803 rebellion led by robert emmett who himself was hung drawn and executed.........i know about the black an tans and the burning down of cork and a men forced into a burning building while his family watch..............Dont presume to call me a tit

  • @MurrintownLad The English and the Irish love ignoring the Welsh, Cornish and Scottish ways of life.

  • @jannyrcobs The leaders/royalty of the Welsh,Cornish and Scots Celts chose to turn their backs on their Celtic independance and their Celtic cousins in Eireann,and they chose to join the anglo saxons for their own reasons,but Ireland stood steadfast alone,the proof was/is the fact that "British" soldiers from Wales/Cornwall/Scotland all served the British crown during the Irish struggle for freedom and independance during the 800yr s.

  • Comment removed

  • @MurrintownLad you're forgetting all the irish who served dickhead - did you realise that there are still irish regiments and soliders serving in her majesty's army today? and that not one irish soldier left after bloody sunday. you irish need to sort your lives out and stop being professional victims

  • @JimBell1984 Im not forgetting anyone you fucking dipshit,those that chose/choose to serve in a foreign army is their business,the gyst of the thing is 800 yrs,was there an Irish Battlion of the Brit army 800 fucking yrs ago?

    If your going to comment please keep up.

  • @JimBell1984 Haaaaaa your a fucking lunatic lad,the English invaded Ireland before the doomsday book was written in 1086,stick to scottish history jaffa

    Irish people move to the UK for the same reasons the British move to Ireland,work,crime,romance etc..

    Give the percentage of 'Irishmen' that join the British army before bigging it up Jim.

    Bell by name Bellend by nature.

  • @MurrintownLad bell is a celtic origin surname lol

  • Tiocfaidh ár lá!!

  • And when the struggle is over and dear old Wales is free, I'll take my girl to the church to wed and a rebel wife she'll be. Well some men fight for silver and some men fight for gold, but the FWA are fighting for the land that England stole

  • @3tangle3 The division is only in your mind, you are all free any time you want to be, you just have to say; "I am a freeman" and mean it. It works for everyone too!!! I was born in East Anglia but I am not English, I am a freeman.

  • @BradBrassman nice one....yeah i am not a big lover of any state whatever that may be.......joke is the ethnic "anglo saxons" of east anglia has been tramped on as well....but no one realises..........the english flag/patron saint/ the three lions.....none of these are proper english in the old sense (though i have nothing against cultural evolution....modern english identity has been imposed on all us peasants lol)

  • @3tangle3 Aye, be sovereign and free and remember; Religion, Nationalism, Queen and Country etc, ect, merely mean Blind submission and are just another form of slavery. The real truth is the Irish are free now and always have been, because the real struggle is recognising not so much our differences, but our similarities. UNITY is the key, with that we stand, and divided we fall. Its as Lenin said, " A bayonet is merely a tool, with a worker at both ends". 

  • @BradBrassman yeah i dont really like states to be honest....i view the break up of the elitist anglo norman lie of the UK state to be a form of anti-state movement...we are all unique individuals, we are all brothers.....but why should english culture be superior?

  • @3tangle3 Thats just it; they arent. No one is superior but thats the illusion the elite wish to maintain. They dont want unity between working classes; that what they fear the most, especially as "they" are probably less than 1% of the population and rely on race, religion and politics to keep us segregated.

  • @3tangle3 england aint superior.they just took over countries for a while by force and now still believe in their superiority"great britain""united kingdom" these names say it all.nothing great about it and nothing united about it either.Scotland and Wales continually assert their independence.Northern Ireland is an even bigger kettle of fish.

    How can a country believe it owns islands 8000 miles away from itself?Pop culture is another story..america and uk have been at forefront..language n mtv?

  • @3tangle3

    great sentiment good luck on sunday from a paddy !

  • Have to say I was sad to see a 'dislike' for this interpretation of the song. Music, like art, can convey a feeling or thought without endorsing the nature of its origin.

    Listen to 'Patriot Games' by the same band.

    On a personal note, two great voices together - but always a pleasure to hear Luke in full force - if you agree 'the town I loved so well is a must'!

  • yes... a wonderful song... not only for the irish freedom fighters.

  • Free egypt and all celtic nations!!

  • A warm heart for the Irish from Romania! Tioc Faidh Ar La !

  • you know this was sung not long after the sunday bloody sunday (Domhnach na Fola) massacre

  • Why do the Dubliners have a different lineup in every video?

  • @xxfirdarrigxx you have some valid points, but tone down the anger and hate...doesnt do the indigenuous cultures any good. Just got to hold out until the truth is out. We have the high ground no need to force it ;)

  • Drew was loaded ... the eyes are standin in his head ..shor they couldnt play roight less they were half cut !

  • This song is called "The Merry Ploughboy".

  • This favorite is at the other end of the music spectrum when I compare it to Eminem & his post/current pop/rap hit ,"Not Afraid", both are very different in nature but danceable. Thx4 postin'

  • Cromwell is it? He was hated by his own people so much that four years after his death, he was dug up and hung by the neck. British justice? Not much.
