[conorr14]

Talk bout a fukin tune!!!!

all those inbreds do know how to sing

[ADonovan43]

The sweetest off all the roses are always the ones from home.Take care ADomovan43

[Mazdak1]

this is sung to the same tune as Wind that shakes the corn, it sounds like.

[Ais48]

I learned this song at 2 or 3 years old from a man in Coolea, Co. Cork. It really brought back memories, as I probably haven't heard it in over 50 years. Thank you.

[helloman1976]

I just stuck a pen in my ears so I didnt have to hear this crap

[ecosse133]

@helloman1976 guess your to stupid to know where the mute key is or shut down your computer why not just stick a pen in my ear guess you didnt go in deep enough thats something a 5 year old might do

[helloman1976]

@ecosse133 It's "you're" not "your"....

[johngodea]

Should have given the poor lad a twin wheel barrow for the bog

[dotsquatch27]

cow pies are heavy!!

[hardcase788]

That young fella should be bending his knees when he's lifting. €40 on a decent wheelbarrow wouldn't kill them either.

[buyerbill2]

If U knew anything about the bog you would,nt bring your €40 barrow there sir , just goes to show what u do know

[Asiaticlily11]

@hardcase788 maybe it should occur to ye ,that different areas have differnt wheel-barrows and of the era also...

[hardcase788]

@buyerbill2: I could be an expert on 'bogs' for all you know.

@Asiaticlily11: It's called 'Bog-Humour', relax.

[TheKylemac]

@hardcase788 haha! well done.

[TibettAoife]

OMG I know, where that bog is! I have turf there. Sir!

[Burlywurl]

What a beautiful song. Who is the singer?

[anointedma]

It is so nice to see things that I'd probably never get to any other way ,Thanks for the video

[312868540]

if ur reading this and bored k

[ethereal51]

That poor horse was having to stamp on it's own feet. Don't you just love those shire horses? I enjoyed the song.

[Miken3307]

That pale white Irishman is RIPPED! Wouldn't want to mess with him. He'd probably toss me around like he does his native peat.

[speckspeck]

Any Irishman or woman could twirl you about ya skinny twinkletoes

[jamesinlondon]

its called turf

[Sportymike]

Why is the video of Gweedore, when the song is about Glenswilly???

[zachy68]

very nicee sonng...at the beginning it sounds like german music :P

[macker33]

The wolfe tones version is very good

[ANARCHYdashTVdotCOM]

reminds me of the monty python anarchist syndacalism skit

[XXareyoulisteningXX]

Christ, this is like a bad spoof from Father Ted or something. No wonder people have stereotypical preconceptions of Ireland with leprechaun twaddle like this being made. Furthermore, Glenswilly is the most depressing hole I've ever had the misfortune to be in, why someone would waste time and effort dedicating a whole video to it is beyond me...

[Sportymike]

This songs too much like The Homes of Donegal.

[celtichongy]

janey macks, yer right U2irishband. What is that "plotach" doing at all, at all.? Firsst I thought he was spread'n cut( wet) turf. Now I agree he is making ' a reek' of dried turf. He'd be faster throw'n it alright. Shure lishen to me this,his 'oul lad is bigger amadain not to stop him washntn time!!

[u2irishband]

his rolling that contrapion about 2 yards when a good lad would throw the sods on top of the pile another one load up the ould ass and get it home before the nite id be down on top of us

[tongiorgi]

exactly like Mayo fifty years ago, but we had an ass and cart and brought the turf out to the roadside - and the song brings back memories of Tooreen and Ballyhaunis - gura mile maith agat

[robroy321]

That was hard waasn't it, putting coal on the fire in the old days. I hope you remember this video when you turn the gas fire on.

That was my Mothers favourite song. I know why now, when I listen to the words. Beautiful.

[celtichongy]

geeeze, so much for flotation tyres ,,, is that a bicycle wheel on the bog barrow? Donegal did'nt have the "appliance of scence" like 'the Wessst' using low ground pressure- wide wooden wheels!!

[paddster16]

So its true Glenswilly people ARE Inbred...Jaysus They all look the same...

[tooth1999]

i tell dats hard fukin work....but ya av 2 luv it haha

[helmar1a]

god bless his farmers tan.

[RiNaTara]

The good old days working in the bog - I do miss it

[arsecunt101]

i really doubt ya do

[donegal2]

God bless Donegal from a Derry Man living in Coventry England

[Miken3307]

Irish people are too happy for the modern world-they are anathema!

[terencemagee]

I love my traditional irish music like the one here. But what's happened to some I've saved like The Foxhunter Reel(1975), Buion Cheoil Learphoil Ceili Band, the Fleadh Cheoil at Bunclody, Co. Wexford in 1963 and the Irish dancing there, too? The videos are not available, it says. Why? Who took them away? Does anyone know anything, where I can find said videos? This shouldn't happen on You Tube, methinks.

[kenl55]

this was the best tony mary wren toronto canada

[g132yn]

who is the singer? he did a grand job.

[DerekMoncur]

Why did'nt he move the bog pile closer to where he was digging then he could have sold the wheel barrow.

[dr1141tube]

That's Errigal in the background. Buncrana is on Lough Swilly.

[b1gs1985]

[redbear99]

[Sephy7irl]

[b1gs1985]

[domhnail1]
