  • l keep listening to other singers trying this song, Luke Kelly is the only one who can sing it right

  • the ultimate fighting song to fight to lol. I get pumped for a fight when i hear this haha. anyone else feel the same way kinda?

  • ayerland

    

  • this song doesn't make want to fight it makes me want to dance

  • any one else just wanna fist fight when they hear this song?

  • all I know is the chorus, that's sad considering I listen to it so much.

  • cool

    

  • Orthodox Celts are better 

  • makes me want to fist fight

  • i love this song

  • thumbs down i british xD lol

  • @Count22. I'm totally Irish and am also proud to be a British citizen.

  • took me forever to learn the lyrics to this. finally learned it though.

  • I love this song haha

  • This has nothing to do with the Sherlock Holmes fight but it's really cool!

  • 2 people r orange men even though i am one but have the same love for irish independence! erin go brah!

  • sorry starvin. luke kelly's version is hands down one of the best versions however Orthdox has a really good newer version thats not as old folk.

  • 2 people are british

  • @xXxGaMeHaWkxXx This couldnt be any further than British. This is pure Irish heart ! (know the difference)

  • @Count22

    I'm surprised so many people get it confused. The Scots have bagpipes and whiskey, the Irish have beer and their twangy folk music and the Brits... Have... Whatever the British want to be proud about.

    ._o

  • @BLACKIESBOY ...tea?

  • @NekoAlias

    Honestly? I give that to the Chinese. They make it better. XD

  • @Count22 British and the Irish had a war, for ireland. The british were cruel to the irish, and took over ireland for some time. So if you ever hear an irish man going on about the brits...thats why.... i know cause im part irish, my dad lectures me the history ^.~

  • @nerdie0girl Its been an on-going war of Protestant/Catholic beliefs and I personally think that England should get out of Ireland.But as soon as you say that you wonder if the problem hasnt just been blown way out of context since there are many advantages to England being there. "just leave the guns at home" is what I think their trying to say.

  • this is a toooooon:) x

  • (=^.^=)

  • There are so many versions of these songs and im gonna find em all!!

  • @nikolai2013

    GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!!

  • @nikolai2013 Check out the version of Orthodox Celts!In my opinion,it is much better than this one............... :D

  • dude it is awsome thats were i heard the song then i youtubed it i cant wait until they get the actual fight scene up so i can watch it over and over

  • this song was fucking PERFECT for that fight scene in Sherlock Holmes! That movie kicked ass!

  • @XxXMattMutilationXxX f888 8ff

    

  • that also in the wonderfull movie of Sherlock Holmes !!!

  • for who was looking for the fight scene song

    its call The Dubliners - The Rocky Road To Dublin

    and this is the link for it

    multiupload. com/22V6YYDYKD

    just remove the space i hate this ;(

    There is another new version for the song for The High Kings but its not the 1 in the fight scene

    anyway good luck

  • like in pride and glory or the departed

  • All fight scenes in movies from now on should have folk music in the background. :)

  • Song was better in the movie, as a standalone song, High Kings is better.

  • The first time i heard this songs was in the "Sherlock Holmes"movie, and i can't get enough of listening again and again. Bravo Ireland and irish people

  • Nothing can beat the original.

  • @fifthdaughter Excuseme but... This is the original version? I really don't know :S

  • omgg i saw this in sherlock holmes and i was like OMG<3

    brings back memories from my dancing days C:

  • The fight was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better since this was in there!

  • great in the sherlock holmes fight!

  • this song went great with the credits for sherlock holmes! i loved it!

  • Listen for this song at the beginning of the credits for the new movie release Holmes.

  • this is the best version imo

  • whack fol la le rahhh!!!

  • Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road!

  • all the way to Dublin whack follol de ra :o

  • Comment removed

  • i can not find a good version of the young dubliners copy of this song please help

  • I love how there are death threats going around. I'm not sure how it all started and I'm generally not the person who wants to bring peace but still you guys got chill out.

  • Lol, successful troll is successful.

  • Charmer0farmer has a broad outlook on the world. What a dumbass....hating a whole country because of the actions of it's government. You, sir, are an idiot! People like you should be dealt with in a swift manner!

  • shot on the spot.

  • Cool

  • it's the same here with the Irish songs as with all German music videos on youtube. it's either "let's all slate the Americans and the British" or "let's keep reminding the Germans about their past". pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me. Ok the British were bad to the Irish. Live with it, it's in the past. Things are good now. And the only reason six counties are still part of the UK is because most people living there don't want to be part of southern Ireland....

  • They dont want to be a part of Southern Ireland because they DO NOT BELONG IN IRELAND. NI is Britain's thread trying to hold the remnants of their broken empire together, for fucks sake, they're still in Gibraltar. Things would "good now" if they were giving Ireland a sovereignty conference in 2010 like they give the Scottish. I cannot live with whats in the past when every time I see a goddamn map there is a speck of blue over what should be goddamn green.

  • FUCK ALL AMERICANS!!!!! if ya read down through da big row goin on(which i started by the way) u will see that americans SHOULD BE BOMBED AND WIPED OFF THE PLANET the quicker the better éire go deo... Ireland, est 1916 Scottish= cool Welsh= alright too English= Not the best but most are alright Americans= WADS OF SHIT die america...die (see how much of a arguement this comment causes!!!)
  • Umm... You're not Irish if you hate the Yanks -_-" The Yanks weren't the ones who took-over part of our country, they even sent arms and ammunition to help the IRA in 1916... Plently of Irish Yanks in Yankeeland as well, so you would be killing Irish lads and lasses as well -_-"

  • TELL ME WHERE THE FUCK U LIVE what the fuck makes u good? why should u live what difference have u made in the world NOTHING ur a piece of dirt ur nothing nothing at all just dirt

  • First of all i live in ireland...if u read my comment u wld have seen that u dum shit

    2ed of all, wat have we made to the world? who gives a shit wat we made to the world, at least we dont go around bein all hormeonal wen someones slags our country on u tube... u on ur period or something dude? take it easy:D

  • i said what have u ever done not Ireland u dumb fuck sorry if i don't like ppl saying shit bout where i live and sayin they should all die ur the fucker on his period pissin out green at that u mic bitch

  • I am not sure if you know the true meaning of this song, but its about going back home, and his journey on the road towards home... oh yea, I am Irish also, and live in America. Thanks for slandering our Irish culture. really if you want your voice to be truly respected by Adults, Speak in proper English, Bring in Cold hard FACTS; not just some opinion you thought up while on the toilet, and try to understand from someone elses point of view.

  • America isnt the greatest country in the world, no one country is the best... I am sure that most mature adults would understand that (at least I hope)... But at least its better then have our women dress in all black garbs and no women rights... did you know that if a women has been raped, she'll go to jail, not the man. just because she is the "lesser" of the two. unlike here in the US. we have women running for president... US isnt the greatest, but not the worst... everybody makes mistakes

  • @CaptainRednose

    she is the "lesser" of the two...

    Can you please elaborate ? i Don't get you :S

  • "Lesser" meaning that in most muslim cultures the female are not given the same rights as the male. In the situation that "CaptRed" is talking about does happen unfortunately. The women is put to jail just for being raped, because she is "unpure"... not the man. Same thing happens at a soccer game. If there are not enough seats for the man to sit his wifes, he'll shoot them in the head to make room.

  • The women is put to jail not for being raped (in muslim cultures as u say).

    First nothing like that is there in muslim cultures. You might have read a report in Saudi Arabia on a woman who was raped and then sent to prison... If you have read the report Completely and carefully, you will notice that the reason for her imprisonment was Abortion NOT because she was raped. Raping is a great "unforgivable"(mayb) sin in the religion of Islam. But i know its a very serious Crime.

  • @shumayal7 this is an irish song y talk aboot saudi arabia

  • @Rizlao9 lol well, solely to answer to "CaptainRednose & Rednose440" I know its Irish ! I <3 this song :)

  • Just ask your history teacher about civil rights in the middle east, or re-read what I said (I thought I was clear enough)

    the point of the saying what I said, was because I wanted to show not one country or state or ideal is better then the other... It all just comes down to personal opinions

  • @CaptainRednose

    You're right about the civil rights.. in the middle east of woman. They can't vote & their witnesses is like 1 man's = 2 women. I totally agree with you, & the civil rights for the full middle east is not exactly the same. For example - in the UAE , woman can vote for certain positions. etc..

    The specific point that I mentioned above applies to KSA 100%.

  • aaaagh! what the fuck is wrong with youtube!? can't everyone just enjoy a classic song without having an 'america debate'?

    relax and enjoy the music for christ's sake! :D

  • fuck the US IT SUCKS...?

  • yes your american is the most hated country and it sucks being from here because everyone just looks at as an ignorant reddneck which is the exact oppsitte theres a lot of tight people here its just our leaders that are corrupt so give us a chance its our goverment that u hate not the people

  • if you think americans are all rednecks you cleary havent seen anything of what america really is

  • SmileS alL Round =]

  • America is the most hated nation in the world, followed closely by england...im happy with my green passport anyday...

  • shut up u stupid farmer, nobody listens to farmers anyway

  • one two three four five.... *LOVES IT*

  • Check this song by Orthodox Celts. Its preety nice :)

  • u sir are indeed right. i cant stand the rednecks here in america

  • Except for the fact that these "common rednecks" have significant Irish ancestory.

    The word "redneck" used to have a positive meaning behind it...someone who worked outside so hard for so long that his neck was red from the sun.

    These arguments about America are stupid. That's like saying that everyone in Ireland is red headed, riverdances under rainbows and drinks liquor with every meal. It's stupid.

  • thats weird im not saying your wrong or anytin but if rednecks have irish ancestry why are the vast majority rescist to irish people

  • my personal favorite.

  • Probably.

  • why all the hostillity, some americans are twats some are fine, some irish are twats some arnt im english and i can say most english are twats.

    why the arguing, listen to the song, its great. i went to ireland for the first time last week and am moving their soon its a great country, as im sure america is. this is ment to be about the song not national conflict

  • you must not be irish. or just young and ignorant.

  • you wanna fuckin call me ignorant again.. dkm rocks and you suck

  • DKM does rock but i prefer this version over a folk punk version.

  • its both cool

  • I love this song, it has become a new theme for me.

  • People just shut up about nationalities and stop this fucking pointless argument.. Shut up, Listen to the music and appreciate the genius of Irish music.

  • eh...posted that last comment before i red urs...ur actually rght, im just keepin it goin to piss of all the septics:)

  • americans(some, but i will not say all as i no a few nice one(and aactually snogged one under the eiffel tower wen i was on tour in paris))...ARE BIG WADS OF SHIT

  • If it weren't for the states, your island would be empty and the Irish would be wiped off the earth.. (famine) or you would all be speakin German (WWII). why don't you pick which one you would like to thank us for!!! Ya Patty Prick!!

  • eh ill go with speakin german...it cant b all that bad...u just have a pinapple up ur ass cause we used your country to the max...hahaha

  • Hey Punkfish, I would rather live on this (famine stricken) island than be part of your red necked white supremacy cousin fuckin country but i suppose you get ass holes like u everywhere...........

  • The irony being that the vast majority of "rednecks" inbreds and white trash are either entirely Irish or 3/4 Scots Irish/Irish... Haha. We probably wouldn't have rednecks if not your y'all, God knows the Germans were too smart to fuck in the bush, fighting natives and taming land.

  • Notice the similarities between Irish folk and Bluegrass. Not much of difference.

    Indeed the Irish were poor and had to use their muscle to get ahead in this country.

  • great song by the way

  • i hope a in iraq one of your relatives gets raped beat or killed

  • The roles would have been reversed if Ireland had been terrestially suitable to the development of civilization, or even equal with England. I wouldn't get haughty considering the Irish fought and won all our wars up 'til WW2...

  • Did they hell!!

  • Remember, the ultimate decider of your Irish heritage is a jerk on the internet, and you should defend it no matter what.

  • art5601. thank you for the music,i love this song.erin for ever.

  • i was born in the u.s. ,but i have an irish hart. so f**k you .charmerofarmer.you great wad of shit.

    :)

    nd2set tings stright..i dnt hate al americans...just the present ones...we used your country to the max(as pitatapitu rightfully pointed out) so now we can throw shit in ur face

  • until I googled the lyrics I always thought the song was saying 'dublin, you fat fine city' which in retrospect is not a bad lyric

  • Why does this have to be about nationality?

  • whats wrong with americans? dont judge us by our leaders. we are just people. goddamn. how dare you guys say shit like that. dont taint a great song like this. im of irish desecnt my family came to america from ireland. you still got a problem with me? irelands in my blood i was just born in america.

  • Your parents left when times were rough...wat about those who were left behind and beared the brunt...fuck you...fuck all americans who think there irish...irish means born in ireland and loving it, not using some sorry ass 'parent rule'

  • fag

  • your right, they are all fags...american scum LICK MY IRISH ASS

  • just something for you to think about, ever heard of Butte, Montana? People come from Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick's day in Butte because that town is more Irish than Dublin.

  • I was stuck there in the Witching hours at a Greyhound depot. I did indeed take stock of the Irish flags everywhere...

  • Your parents left when times were rough...wat about those who were left behind and beared the brunt...fuck you...fuck all americans who think there irish...irish means born in ireland and loving it, not using some sorry ass 'parent rule'

  • did they stay by choice or because there was no means to buy passage across the Atlantic?

  • ok im scottish but technically i could call myself irish given the scottish were originally a few irish tribes that crossed to what we know as scotland but... f*ck that im scottish not irish

    i was born in scotland im many many generations scottish there fore im scottish despite where the bloodline goes back to

    ergo

    your american

    just deal with it

  • That comment was entirely pointless.

  • i agree with ya man...ur scottish and thats it...im irish and just as proud...but wat are americans??? theirs paintings older than their history!

  • good call, why so much hate towards all americans? its horrible i'm american and i don't know a single person thats anything like your stereotypes, i disagree with the warasmuch as anyone,i hate our president as much as anyone, i also hate how some of you are judging all of us by those things ! think before deciding to hate a whole nation of people, i could decide to hate all irish people for how many hate comments there are about americans but i'm not going to

  • i love the Irish people and Irish music

  • brooklynemperor

  • this is a really good song... i love irish drinkin songs. this has such an adventurous melody..

  • way to stereotype. just cause they are irish songs dont mean they are drinking songs.

  • the second verse is about stopping to get drunk in a pub in mullingar,

    im scottish and certainly all of our folk songs are all about drinking, f*cking or fighting

  • Great song. Thank's for posting.

  • makes me want to throw on my celtic jersey and go play some football

  • England is ok, with Scotland and Irish is great but USA are fuckers!!!

  • Englands fine (well im english) but gimme Ireland any day

  • u kno i completely agree wit u its only realy america i dont like

  • I'm an american. I find it funny how most people outside america dislike us. Probably because our leaders are arrogant assholes that stick their noses into everyones business.

  • Or because we're better at just about everything.

  • How many Americans do you know?

  • i know several americans but they seem like little children to me like i have seeen films with them and they always laf when somone gets hit in the balls its not really that funny when u hav seen it 50 million times but yet its in every american comedy

  • I don't laugh. What you are doing is called stereotyping. Though your reasons for stereotyping are not unbased, you still shouldn't label us all fuckers becuase of a few. That's like saying all Canadians say Eh.

  • THEY DO

  • THEY DO

  • Don't base our country based on who is running it, we hate him too. :)

  • how bout holland :) ??

  • fuck holland cant you see there fighting about Ireland you dumb dutch fag go suck a dick pussy

  • Hey! Im Irish! grrrrr

    but I dont take that sort of rubish personally

  • I love this song too. It's a shame that many people of Ireland do not understand why we ex-patriots love this land. We are refugees. Our ancestors left this land under extreme duress. Either live or die. I'm glad that those who stayed lived, but my ancestors decided to leave.

  • dude thankyou.. you are absolutely right, im glad im not the only person that feels that way.. i hate it when people born in ireland look at americans like we're idiots for supporting our heritage

  • U left the irish boys to die u yanks...stay in iraq and dont come near the green isle

  • i agree

  • SOME of us americans are against the war thanks very much. fuck off i got irish blood in me.

  • lol what? America has historically been a place of refuge for the Irish during the 1800's, not to mention providing food to Ireland during the famine. Also, ever heard of the Irish Brigade and their songs? Irish laborers also built the first railroad in America. Just a bit of history for you to think about..

  • I love this song

  • I break this one out every st paddys day....ka kite e noho ra...nz

  • is it hard to sing this song? lol

  • Try singin it. lol

    Its not too hard, the verse about in dublin next arrived, thought it such a pity to be soon deprived a view of that fine city so i took a stroll etc is rather hard i think.

  • Oh god, i remember this song from when i was a little kid, my parents playd Dubliners albums all the time so ive kind of got this in-built love for traditional irish folk, even though im a 16 year old punk.

  • Man, this is awesome.

  • I love the Dubliners too :)

    I love Ireland

    I love Irish music...

    a good combination, ain't it?

  • yes sir it is

  • I love dubliners

  • Absolutely fantastic. Luke Kelly breathes only about three times in each verse. One of the greatest singers ever.

  • This song only includes 1 possibility to breath- while break

  • eiRinn go brach!

  • For people like fugitivehunter18,i can't stand people who can't be Irish without the English. Why can't you just enjoy some music without talking about them? The past is the past. You are ensuring that they will be a perminant part of our culture.

  • Here's the Orthodox Celts version watch?v=O9LEbV8OZCE :)
