[bigfish700]

@boysofwexford Ha ye tick fuck laughing at ye you just made my day dublin 4 sam wexford for strawberrys !! :)

[bigfish700]

If it came to it again I'd lay my life down for my country any time I'm proud to be Irish and more proud to be a dub and will be a happy camper come Sunday evening when Dublin are crowned all Ireland champs !!!

[boysofwexford]

@bigfish700 Snow white and the seven dwarves are in a serious car crash. Gardai and ambulance men at the scene think all are dead until they hear a faint voice say "Dublin will win the all Ireland". A Garda replies "at least dopey is still alive

[eoinfl]

@boysofwexford bet you feel like a stupid cunt now!

[boysofwexford]

@eoinfl sure tipp won.....



[dubsbhoy]

[irishshelly505]

I hope our youth of today can understand the lads of years ago that gave there live to Ireland and I hope that we may pass down the stories and never forget it

[Megz3350]

omg my friend song tat at an old peoples home and they all started crying... it was so sadbut nice at the same time!

[darkwattie227]

rise irishman, a toast for dublin, a toast for ireland!

[isobellaj]

The Fantastic Luke Kelly I visited his Grave in march 2011

[spudseamus]

Tony having listened to it again I do now concede that it is indeed Luke but as you say it must be a very late recording -- what but me off was the lack of phrasing that is so unlike Luke ahh it wasn't the gargle what dimed his brain but the cancer God Bless him .

[lukekellycopy]

He ispired my name! Whopteedoo.

[spudseamus]

this is NOT Luke Kelly singing!

[tony10396861]

@spudseamus It's Luke alright, but a late recording, probably when he was already sick. His voice is very different from when he was younger.

[whantheleper]

The only thing that tops Luke singing this is when hill 16 starts it up

[Fahrradsoldat]

ive heard this song a million times and sometimes you just have to sit with your eyes closed and respect the love that luke had for his homeland and for its music. This tune so is the definitive of it.

[oasisrchp]

ronnie drew is such a prick



[fannymcslap]

@oasisrchp Anything to back that up or are you just wandering around youtube vomiting useless shite out of that hole in your face for the rest of us to read?

[qwer55555555]

i'm not Irishman, but this is so  fucking awesome!

cheers

[CelticWings2009]

the picture at 1.00 minute is not luke kelly, its an impersonator...

[lukekellycopy]

i know the whole song and can sing it!!!

[diggerman1977]

Makes you proud of this beautiful city we tryed in the celtic tiger to forget our past and erase our history hopefully weve learned to never forget were we came from and love our city and its amazing history

[jm357m]

did any singer ever put such emotion into his songs, i dont think so, no way

[FreedomSaoirse]

Irelands greatest Balladier ever..RIP Lukey. Sorely missed

[Mainirishairsoft]

This should be the Dublin anthem instead of Molly Malone.

Super song by a super artist.

[jcbiscuitsniece]

@Mainirishairsoft This is the dublin anthem

[darren4011]

mr celtic you fucking arsehole.. grow a set of balls and grow up!!! you dont know wat d fuck ur talkin about...people like u is how us irish get a bad name,,,LISTEN TO D SONG

[MrMetallicamonster]

Thanks Annegetyourgun if there was any other way to get them out but you know if they are are asked to leave or turned down a house they report racism to the court of human rights.the foreigner the oppressor but the double barrel shotgun is the great equaliser.the club should stop hunting pheasants and start hunting Tom the foreigner

[MrMetallicamonster]

I'd just like to say this is some of the best music around no of that clubland rihanana foreigner bollocks the only place for a foreigner in Ireland is at the end of a rope too many of family died for Ireland to have it become a place where most of the people are strangers from far away and other know nothing of there heritage kill them all God will understand

[TheAnniegetyourgun]

@MrMetallicamonster bit harsh but i see where your coming from, ireland and its native people have suffered enough to at least retain our individuality and pride.

[cdoublehs]

There is no singers like that anymore, no songs like it either. there will never be another singer like luke again, his voice was so great and unique. Along with ronnie they were simply the best

[MrFlangie]

absolutely stunning

[MrFlangie]

Superb

[sliotharball]

There is no doubt in the world that Luke had a fantastic singer. I remember the last time I saw Luke ---in the Leeson Lounge about a month before he passed away.

[anthonydoyle18]

hey you worthless racist shite to hear such filth makes me ashamed to be irish if you are irish you shite

[mattjoeryan]

@anthonydoyle18 you don't live in the real world look at the US UK e.t.c blind fool

[Toggimie]

That is a very nice song.

I love it

[saoreire258]

One of my favorite songs of all time. It captures not only the true heart of Dublin but all of Ireland. Luke Kelly is a god. Happy Christmas from Kerry.

[djShite]

i'll shed a tear for auld Ireland, the land I love so dearly.

From Australia, happy christmas to those back home.

[tremben]

55yrs old ... too many long nights playing and singing on chill streets for slim pickins ... and yet, and yet, I'd like to think I did a bit to keep the tradition alive.

Hoooaah!

[irishgeal1]

kildare man meself, but this is my favourite song, the words, the singer, it has everything.

[yannis01000]

Luke Kelly is my God ! Has it has been said, he's a legend and legends never die ! I visited Dublin and the rest of Ireland, Luke Kelly was always in my mind !

[Alanstonemason1]

wat a song..an irish legend....

[1591jmartin]

stupid idiots dissing this, you miss the whole story its beautiful dont matter who sings it and luke has a great irish voice true and does a great job

[skage333]

this fella is the best

[MrCeltic1888]

i couldnt give a fuck what foreigners are in dublin as long as it aint english, or them orange cunts that wanted to march past the gpo

[starryplough16]

RESPECT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattjoeryan]

@MrCeltic1888 What ....you fucking stupid cunt im a republican what you said is fucking shit a black cunt or any of colour will never be Irish.. The orange are more Irish than a black rapist ..Thick southern cunt..

[duncz1000]

im from tyrone ya ballbag

[mattjoeryan]

@duncz1000 I was talking to MrCeltic1888 U fool

[Superbus90]

FUCKIN EXCELLENT

[christoir246]

theres more foreignrs in dublin now than irish.

[HlerLogiKari]

Where are most of these foreigners from?

[christoir246]

Eastern europe and pakistan,chinese aswel but there alright,theyr quite and iv never seen a drunk chinese man.

[chloejono]

get them fucking out of ireland the cunts

[andydoc1987]

Why do you resent foreigners in Ireland?

[chloejono]

because they take everything and dont give a fuck about anything thats y

[andydoc1987]

What do immigrants in Ireland take? Are you Irish?

[chloejono]

of course im irish they take free houses and free money and irish people cant get the houses because of them bastards

[andydoc1987]

I think you'll find a lot of immigrants take the jobs that Irish people don't want to do, the real nasty horrible jobs that Irish citizens think they are too good to do. Irish people often don't want to live in the deprived areas where immigrants are offered accomodation.

As you are Irish, can't you relate to the position these immigrants find themselves in? Millions of Irish were forced to flee and became immigrants all over the world, did they take everything without giving a fuck?

[chloejono]

fuck off who gives a cunt

[andydoc1987]

Do you honestly fail to see the irony in that analogy you moron?

[chloejono]

will u leave me alone

[andydoc1987]

I will now that I've done showing you up for the xenophobic cretin you are.

[chloejono]

fuck off u english cunt

[andydoc1987]

Clever, as always. But I'm not English.

[thurovic]

u suck

[TheBroc16]

@chloejono ur absolutly right get dem cunts out of our country

[SignusMelko]

Don't forget when the Irish came by the millions to America. Or when generations of them came to Scotland. It's not your country in that sense.

[pitchjazz]

@TheBroc16 what cunts? I don't care where someone is from, once they aren't a dickhead

[thurovic]

just die

[Kevodapikey]

why would you disgrace a page with luke kelly blasting out a ballad with your stupid fuckin comments???and i dunno where your gettin your facts from about the free houses and all

[Kevodapikey]

whats wrong with 2Pac i suppose he is too "black" for you or sumthin is he???prick kill yourself

[Kevodapikey]

you have the same second name as me i hope to fuck i am not some distant relation of yours because i woudl'nt wanna be related to a prick like you

[MrOglaighnaheireann]

your a muppet

[ScottInVa1760]

You could see and hear a special level of intensity in Luke's singing. He was in a class of his own. RIP Luke, and may you and Ronnie make memorable music for the saints above.

[annecoghlan]

great song.. i luv luke

[jmcjmc2007]

1:02 isn't Luke.

[eblanaken]

Nice job BEAGLEMOE.I'm sitting here in L.A. along way from home with a jar in my hand,the kids are in bed and I'm feeling wonderfully melancholy,

Great song,great city and the greatest balladeer of them all.

[01roadwarrior]

means a lot these days

[ociadc]

legend

[hhgracehh]

he sings it so well

[DavidOT2012]

My Dad went to school with Luke. I was brought up on this music. I love it. XXX Carol Duffy.

[DavidOT2012]

The Best !!!!

[bacabu30]

Best version ever!

[RailwayFreak071]

Luke over Ronnie anyday!

[SKERRIESSCUM]

yes ma u took the words out of my mouth haha luke over ronny ,this is proper irish music

[bobm1967]

two legends i would never like to give one man praise over the other.

[t4texas]

Well, I reckon they are back singing together again! Two giants of Ireland.

[jesscheckin]

Too true

Since Ronnie Died I keep

listening to his version from the late 80's, that,the feeling in his voice and

pathos in his eyes. (I never knowingly

heard Luke's singing while he lived - we were lucky to hear them both in the same line-up, and continue through all the postings) - Thanks BEAGLEMOE

[smacsheaine]

Great song. Well sung by luke.

[jesscheckin]

And Thanks to Phil Coulter for writing it - his own version bears comparison with the Best

[MIDNIGHTWALKER022]

This song was written by pete st john

[jesscheckin]

DOn't know how I got ot post that here - should have gone on "The Town I loved so well"

That'll teach me not to open up too many windows from Youtube at same time. (I do it to finish any comments lol)

[kellyoneill]

Great vid, thanks for sending it, long live lukey.
