  • Poor video great audio and, that's what's matter most of all for music.

  • Amazing song, Ive loved the dubliners since I can remember, I am now 21, and think that irish folk is very underestimated in this day and age. I love playing along to most dubliners tracks, on penny whistle, bodhran. mandolin and guitar

  • Rest in Peace Ronnie..Thanks for all the great music..

  • @wicketchicken, Cocky/cockie is actually short for Cockatoo, not cockatiel. It's referring to farmers who really struggle to peck a living out of the ground.

  • believe it or not i have been taken to task by another person on utube because i questioned why all her uploads of the dubliners had no reference to ronnie drew.i was told and i quote!! DREW BROUGHT NOTING TO THE DUBLINERS!! unquote did this person ever listen to this haunting version by ronnie.......rest in peace king of ireland.....................

  • @jimmyriddle100 Just reading your comment about somebody saying that Ronnie brought nothing to The Dubs...............wow,what a thing to say,I'm lost for words............and whoever made the comment,well it doesn't deserve a reply.I've been all over Europe with the Dubs,and believe me Ronnie will never be replaced,a true one off!!

  • @KildareDan unfortunately dan thats what you get from the !!experts!! who never even saw ronnie and dubs perform......

  • one of the best versions ever

  • If you like this, look up Eric Bogle, a scotsman now living in Australia. He wrote this and many more great lyrics

  • rip Ronnie his songs will always be sang at every sing along R.I.P

  • Hahaha love the description: Song haha

    RIP Ronnie

  • Ronnie ruhe in Frieden (ronnie rip)

    Danke für die Songs der Dubliners.

    Danke für alles.

    Ronnies Tod ist ein Verlust für alle Liebhaber der irischen Musik. Vor 30 Jahren habe ich eine LP gekauft: "The Square Fellas" Das war mein " go in" zu dieser Musik.

    Viele Grüße = greetings from Isle Rügen (north-east-germany /Eastsea/Baltic Sea)

  • Easy Cheesy:)?

  • thats a vioice that can never be repeated,, thank God he recorded these tunes ,enjoyment for many generations to come

  • Some things can not be replaced.And ronnie will never be.God bless.

  • @buckfastred The reality of things is that every living, dies and there is nothing we can do about it and we must accept the facts and not worry consistently about things.
