@potatosgomeow metallica fellas werent even born when the dubliners sang this song

[siknadromas]

@potatosgomeow this and Metallica's versions are very different: this version is folklore, while Metallica's is rock version. I personally like both version very much

[Irishbritishcolumbia]

In one verse you put hurling instead of hurley (the irish sport). Great video though, thanks for making it.

[felipescotland77]

@Irishbritishcolumbia Heya, I realise the lyrics posted here may not be 100% correct but the use of the word 'Hurling' is actually correct.

For those of us who don't know, it's the name of a hugely popular Irish sport, very similar to Scottish 'Shinty'.

The word 'Hurley' — used to describe a Hurling stick — is NOT in this version of the song's lyrics.

Hope that helps clear up any misunderstandings about this fantastic version of a cracking song.

[dante10896]

Jenny was a whore

[dukenukemthreed]

A man let down by a girl named Jenny, it happens a lot.

Happened to me!

[MikeBruceSullivan]

if your a man and if you have ever gone to a tavern/bar/pub, you can always relate to "courting fair maids in the mornin bright and early"! God! I love that line...Happy St. Patrick's Day you creative funny Irish, you!

[Yotubedude33434]

1 guuy likes metalica and he deserves to be killed

[AnnihilatorCZ]

@Yotubedude33434 Damn, I like Metallica, should I be killed then?

[Milhail]

@AnnihilatorCZ yes

[anarhistafromadice]

@AnnihilatorCZ  Yes.

[AnnihilatorCZ]

@anarhistafromadice Fine.

[BCJEntertainment247]

I guess it wasn't a water pistol, eh?

[bazza667]

Is anyone else reading too much into the line "But Jenny blew me charges" or is it just me?

[steading2008]

@bazza667 Actually it's "But Jenny drew me charges", not blew; Jenny took his charges out of his gun and replaced them with water, and when he later went to shoot at captin Farrell he couldn't with water and was taken prisoner.

[BishopMrs]

Lovely version of the song. Alas, I was also looking for the one by the Clancys and Tommy Makem, and couldn't find it.  No matter, this one is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

[Aikidolover29]

The Dubliners brought this song to mainstream music in there time then Thin Lizzy made it current for there time and then Metallica made it current for there time i love all three versions there fantastic in there own right each one id love to know how this song first came around

[corkeyguitarplayer1]

Thanks for posting

One of the greatest songs of all time

[mtvmustdie]

this deserves more likes and less dislikes, yes even less dislikes than zero

[Foggy0810]

I wish this music was played in the bars here in the netherlands :'(

[Nattehan]

@Foggy0810 Haha, jammer genoeg niet man :P

[TinnedBeans101]

[vriendenminaar]

Thin Lizzy's version is definitely sexier.

[XreppinXnoobsX]

METALICA's VERSION SUCKZZZZZZZZZZ

[suzanpunk]

@XreppinXnoobsX fuck you thn

[viktor1409]

very cool song :)

[viktor1409]

very cool song :)

[thespegs]

lyrics are to slow. why fade them?

[101SLASH101]

I think Metallica have shown a good song to a younger genaration. Once younger people like the Metallica song they will look for different versions and enjoy them.

[BOYbelt]

this version is the best hands down!

[petslet]

Funny how they can make robbing somebody sound like a good thing :P

[S0medude81]

Im not Irish and I never heard of these guys before but I love it!

[ruck27]

great drinking song. Even better rebel song

[viking798]

black for my dady -o

[stefts1]

Thin Lizzy version is much better than Metallica's in my opinion.Thin Lizzy made that song popular back in the '70's.

[eXemonY]

@XPetiePieX

watch for daddy-o is metallica's version and everybody knows that dubliners song its the real one

[warmonotan]

Mucha-a ring dum-a do...Musha Dum-a Do dum-a da....Wack fall Da daddy-o,Wack fall Da daddy-o....there is wishkey in My jar....Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da....

[dorkstudioz]

Tá Éire go hiontach!!

[itachivssage]

this is a beer drink song metallica's version is more like a bar fight

[Savemefromhelen]

@itachivssage

If you want a faster tempo, try the irish rovers. I really don't like metallica + irish drinking songs. Although they are still pretty good. (Enter sandman ftw)

[AdamiRose]

@itachivssage while that is true, both are very good versions...in their own right.

[dante10896]

@itachivssage most deffinatley my friend

[dante10896]

[3Bsavage]

matallica does this song also but it is alot different

[ertymanhellke]

@3Bsavage i like thisone more, metallicas voice doesnt fit :(

[shocker147]

Is "Wack fall the Daddy-O" a saying of some type? If so, I'm curious when and in what context is it used? Please post if you know. Thanks.

[andzzz2]

i imagine the first three lines of the chorus are garbled gaelic, if wikipedia is right in saying the song goes back to the 17th century. it would be good to know what it means, as it;s prolly kind of the punch line.

[pottergoth14]

The story of the song is about a man who held a police officer at gunpoint,and took his money. He then took the money to his wife. that night his wife sent for the police, and she filled up her husband's bullets up with water,and The man who had his money stolen took the other man prisoner. And the man wishes his brother would come break him out of prison.

[GiggeFTW]

@pottergoth14 your wrong, it's all about that everything is ok as long as you have whiskey in the jar! :D

[FREggE94]

@shocker147 I think its just some random shit, just like "whack folol the rah"

[shachar9111]

@shocker147

It's a bastardisation of the phrase "whack fol di daddy oh",which is a form of 'mouth music' which is an Irish form of scat singing,which is using sounds rather than actual words.Scat is popular in jazz using sounds like 'do be ooten doo' etc.Irish Mouth Music uses sounds like 'Diddly aye an dooten' and 'skittly aye dum do'

I know,sounds like a wind up,but I can assure you it's completely gen.

[pbrskater26]

Yes I like the metallica version, but the Dubliners do it with hart and passion, it's almost like the way flogging molly sings

[MrEoinCollins]

Great video, 5-5

[5Cork5]
