Luke Kelly Nancy Whiskey

[Chomuno]

I confess I don't get the profound meaning of this song... Can someone explain me what's it about?

[TerraceArchimedes]

@Chomuno From what I can tell..... Nancy somehow managed to trick him into spending his money....

Or something...

I'm still trying to figure it out exactly, but something along those liens I think.

[Chomuno]

@TerraceArchimedes Thank you very much. The song's not very clear, so thank you very much :)!

[MILLWALLBOYS1885]

Iàm drinking BushMills the hole night and I`m thinking Luke!

[Mahaim13]

god gave the irish whiskey to stop them from taking over the world

[govedo94]

[kellyoneill]

@37bigman37 this is the original name of the song

[zoso7889]

@kellyoneill It's originally called the Calton Weaver. It's a scottish folk song

[BPSkinhead]

Cobblestones are a small folk band from germany, you can find them on Myspace under cobblestonesfolk. :-)

I love the little russian part they brought in, "Wodka Wodka, Nadya Wodka" :-D

[BPSkinhead]

Love this song, but the best Version comes from the Cobblestones. :-)

[MisssGradenko]

So I search Cobblestones, but they're not on here! :(

[pirategirlsj]

[freethis222]

This version is from one of the first Dubliners' albums if I'm not much mistaken... Can't give you a name though, sry :(

[jkeppel90]

It's from their 1968 abum "At It Again."

[freethis222]

thank you :)

[longjihn]

Barely seen an artist more skilled than Luke. Genious. Unfortunately never got the chance to see him live. :(

[beanhead1996]

Brilliant!!

[fenian08]

mmm whiskey

[aidolirish]

lets all have a whiskey

[jacqueslevy1]

WHISKEY!

[balloch]

I think what Luke would have wanted more than worship is for us all to get good and drunk and have a sing, God knows I do.

[Liam987hebbo]

Sounds great to me

[Liam987hebbo]

Dub's v Clancy :- Gold v Silver, 1st v 2nd, sorry if you dont agree but Luke & the Dub's are just so much better.

[kateypie1]

i totally agree, nothing against the clancys but nothing can match lukes voice!!! nothing these days even comes close! :)

[recompa2]

Beware of Nancy Whiskey, she ruined you and she ruined me!!!!!!!!Whiskey, all you can drink.

[jameo10]

as i came in by glascow city nancy whisky i chanced i smelled..........

[dallaswhiskey]

The mare I kissed her the mare I looed her, the mare I looed her the mare she smiled...

I love it!!! Nancy soon had me beguiled.

[SirCoughsalot]

Nancy has us all beguiled.

[dallaswhiskey]

Sure does :)

[veryrancid]

just great..love his way of singing

[madamequatre]

Kelly, I never got to meet you, but I miss you a lot. You'd been dead for years when I was born. Fortunately, your songs were alive, as they still are, like in this wonderful video.

[Liam987hebbo]

Just magic. Luke can make being drunk and broke sound like fun.

[dubb1995]

I think that might just be my favourite photo of Luke Kelly. I'd love to know what he's thinking ! The song is fantastic too. The best singer i ever heard.

[greenphantom]

Great! Luke Kelly had a wonderful voice.

[dk888888]

Check theballadeers. com for more info on Dubliners albums, they have a great discography.

[kellyoneill]

:) I love that site.

[NellyPringle]

@duckman9791

The classic Dubliners line-up of Ciaran, Barney, Ronnie, Luke and John made some great lps together. I managed to get them all on vinyl via ebay for next to nothing. My personal recommendations are 'Finnegan's Wake', 'More of the Hard Stuff', 'Live at the Albert Hall' and 'At Home With the Dubliners'. You can't really go wrong though, they're all awesome.

[theovdhurk]

what album is this song on? i have to have it

[kellyoneill]

Its on a 3 cd box set called " The Best Of The original Dubliners, send it to you via email if ya like.

[theovdhurk]

thatd be amazing. Dont really have the money for a 3cd box set at the moment.

[kellyoneill]

Just send me a pm with ya emaill addy

[theovdhurk]

the best version of my favorite song. The very best.

[nigelbourke]

without a doubt i stand corrected. i,m a big fan and was lucky enought to sing back stage at a gig in halifax ... wot nice people

[nigelbourke]

luke was the dubliners

[joeyboy100]

i prefer the dubliners to luke kelly

[nigelbourke]

luke was the dubliners... i mean dubliners without luke is un heard off

[joeyboy100]

yes i know that now lol i sent that comment when i honestly did not know a thing about irish music and i thought luke and the dubliners were two different acts! lol nah nah luke kellys the best irish singer ever

[nigelbourke]

joeyboy100 ... welcome to the world of irish music its like a drug you,ll be hooked take a look at pogues and christy moore

[joeyboy100]

lol i have i have to say none of them realy compare to luke

[Deanslice]

Thats a fair point, but I think other band members such as barney, john sheehan and ronnie drew were all equally as important in making the dubliners such a fantastic group.

[nigelbourke]

without a doubt i stand corrected

[jackbilk]

I love this song. I know what Luke's saying; I just smell whiskey and I have to get pissed.

[urospopadic83]

yeah,theyre the best

[beatityatube]

Well done, thanks for sharing this, a good account of this song. I'm a Glaswegian and my family oddly enough were Calton weavers (and shoemakers) living in the Glasgow Calton who got themselves caught up in all that naughty revolutionary nonsense of 1820. ;-)

[kateypie1]

he looks pretty damn good in this pic in my opinion .. coupled with an amazing deep earthy voice

[kellyoneill]

lol looks more than good!

[kateypie1]

yeh lol

i wouldnt say no!

[kellyoneill]

lol a woman after my own heart!!!

[kateypie1]

afraid so! i imagine he would hav a right laugh readin these comments! stil gettin the women even tho he's left us! lol  ..

[kellyoneill]

haha! has to be known as the luke effect lol

[kateypie1]

certainly so! goin to folk festival soon in west midlands, england (dnt no if u know it) cant wait maybe there wil b people there like luke ... but i doubt it

[kellyoneill]

lol do ya mind if i rephrase that for ya,

there may be people there who only wish they could be like luke!

[kateypie1]

must agree! i always end up a litle disapointed wen they dont sound as strong as luke.. r there many interviews of with luke on the performer dvd? or is it just like a whole concert with him in? went to O'Donoghues last year on my 18th .. was amazing!

[kellyoneill]

Theres a little talking before each song (from diff people) on the performer, deffo worth buying though,(plz god a performer 2 will be released) havnt actually been to O'Donoghues yet, did ya visit lukes grave?

[kateypie1]

no i must say i didnt.. i hav seen pistures of it though. i would be so sad to visit it. my boyfreind isnt realy into his music but we've agreed our first kid wil b called luke if a boy! have you visited it?

[kellyoneill]

yeah iv been a few times, niceone lol hope ya have a boy now!

[kateypie1]

lol yeh i think i was forward plannin a bit there!

[kellyoneill]

[kateypie1]
