@rubberduckchild

"I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life

 For years I've been married to a poor sickly wife She does nothin' all day but to sit there and sigh Wishin' and prayin' that she-ee could die"

(Google is your friend...)

[rubberduckchild]

@BoudiccaBlanc "I'm a young married man and I'm tired of my life

For lately I married an ailing young wife

She does nothing all day, only sit down and sigh

Saying I wish to the Lord that I only could die" good try though haha

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@rubberduckchild ...You quoted the Dubliner's version which is correct for this video.

I quoted the song from the Newfoundland version (which is the original) This group, with Harry Chapin, does a nice version of the original lyrics:

Great Big Sea - Cod Liver Oil

/watch?v=JE_USYfnwao

Doctor "De Jongh's" Cod Liver Oil is the correct spelling for the product

[rubberduckchild]

@BoudiccaBlanc yeah i quoted the Dubliner's version, cause that's what I'm watching. My original post was about what it sounds like the guy in the dubliner's sang so of course i would look up the dubliner's version, why would you look up another version while watching the dubliner's version lol, i understand where you're coming from but don't correct me unless you're looking at the same version

[jacobmoore1234]

Cod LIver Oil (Ryan's Fancy - group from Newfoundland)

wtv-zone. com/ phyrst/ audio/ nfld/ 06/ oil2. htm

[Kobalos]

I love folk, the funny thing is I work in holland and barrott and we sell cod liver oil perhaps this should be our theme song :P

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@Kobalos

Google: "Doctor De Jongh's Cod Liver Oil"

[Hags65]

The Best version out there is from a Newfoundland band called Fine Crowd!! Give it a listen!

[TampaRed]

Yes, this song was written back in the 1930s by the brilliant Johnny Burke from St John's, Newfoundland.

Burke was a famous balladeer who also wrote great songs like "Excursion Around the Bay", "The Night Paddy Murphy Died", "Never Been There Before" among many others.

[therooster333]

England use to own Newfoundland but the origins there are from all over

[Gannon181]

Lets not forget Canada

[Hogo69]

Fuckin brilliant. Scots-Irish america represent !

[TampaRed]

This isn't an American song, it's from Newfoundland, and the Dubliners were, if their name wasn't hint enough, Irish.

[zaaritha]

Great lyrics!

[danwet]

I love this song!

[GoofyNewf]

Reminds me of my childhood in newfoundland!

[Irishfianna]

why !! new foundland is in canada aint it

[GoofyNewf]

yes, thats where i grew up

[Irishfianna]

what would the dubliners have to do with newfoundland??

[GoofyNewf]

They don't but the song is an old Newfoundland song.

[Irishfianna]

are you irish canadian?? because i was looking up newfoundland and it said that a lot of irish settled there and still have a lot of irish traditions

[zephyer42]

there are a good deal of irish and scotts in nfld, but this song has also been redone by the popular nfld band Great Big Sea

[Irishfianna]

i was looking up Newfoundland its no wonder the irish settle there because it looks just like Éire

[punchion]

@Irishfianna

On Newfoundland's Southern Shore area the residents are nearly 100% of Irish descent. The accents there are very Irish and have been for generations.

I've lived in Newfoundland for most of my 62 years.

[jfbecks17]

@punchion

very true, one of my professors in College was from Newfoundland and I thought he was from Limerick.

[SadisticScott]

Actually, it's origins are in England

[johnfinbarburke]

i kinda forgot this song ,, but its good to hear it again ,, brings back good memories

[Anaranjadas]

My mom used to sing this so me when I was little--I was kinda shocked to learn it's a real song! ^.^ But yay, I piece of me mam to listen to whenever...!

[LarryConneely]

do you know where i can get this? i'm always listenin to the dubs when i'm wanderin around

[Domitianvs]

Lovely tune. I notice it shares melody with "Johnny Jump Up", does anybody know which came first?

[arisaignovascotia]

Ronnie does a nice job.....nice Newfoundland tune!

[RoddyM88]

Good old Newfoundland song. Well done!!

[bydabay107]

sorry but no its not a Newfoundland song sir

[RoddyM88]

Well sorry to correct ya there, but it is indeed a song from Newfoundland. Check your history first. It was written by Johnny Burke, a famous song writer from St. John's born around 1850. Cheers!!

[bydabay107]

Thank you, I stand corrected. I apologize to you sir

[aceofhicks]

witch one was singing??

[TownCoote]

That's Ronnie Drew singing. Not sounding as gravelly as usual.

[dubliner85]

Lol, if there is one voice that's instantly recognizable it's Ronnie's, therefore I think aceofhicks should listen to the Dubs a bit more;)

[TownCoote]

True, but I thought yer man mightn't be Irish, so I let him off.

[aceofhicks]

will do

[aceofhicks]

sing this in music class

[madfuck86]

Never heard it b4.. great to c it. tanx for posting

[parakarter]

Hear! Hear! Well done, Dubliner85. A worthy addition to youtube.  Love these lyrics!!
