Flogging Molly - The Rare Ould Times + Lyrics

[Ih8youlube]

@AdjipNeferkare It comes from an old folk song. "ring around a rosie" in legend refers to the plague, as the sores suffered by those afflicted were red (or rose colored) with a ring around them." A pocket full of posies" was believed(superstitiously) to either prevent or aid in curing the disease. "Ashes ashes we all fall down" is referring to the dead/ dying and their cremation . Hauntingly it turned into a folk song sung by children.

[TheBaratharum]

@AdjipNeferkare It is a game children played, they held hands running in circles while singing the song "Ring a rosey"

[mrZagarwagar]

the song is a tribute to the one by the Dubliner's a huge inspiration for flogging molly

judging from your other videos i think noone of them ever lived in Dublin in the rare old times XD

so they can´t leave THAT kind of comment

Great song never the less

@xxXToushirouXxx I dunno man, Dave's almost 50 so it's not too hard to believe that he may have lived in Dublin during the rare ould times :)

Dave King grew up in dublin. he left because he got in some trouble and was exiled. he finally returned when the band made a tour there when they released "Within a Mile of Home". The song itself as stated by mrZagarwagar is a cover by the Dubliner's an considerably older Irish folk band. However to get an idea of what Dave or Luke Kelly of the Dubliner's are talking about you only have to read Jame's Joyce's collection of short stories call "Dubliners"
