I'm probably gonna get flamed to hell and back for this, but that intro sounds a lot like the Swedish Chef.

[lreland1]

@UnseelieFeyri :-) lol - Each to their own. He's simply imitating the accent of the time around Co Down.  I've also posted Phil Coulter reciting it which is also good.

As a Welshman I love this song you will never beat Irish folk music. My father who was also Welsh brainwashed us on Irish music and I've done the same to my children they've grown up now but they still know the words.

As a son of one of the members of "The Column" and living in Australia, i'm glad to hear their songs still floating across the air on a Sunday afternoon.
