[edward0988]

great song well done

[tim7337]

If you're gonna write the lyrics out, get them right.

[sam6350]

This is the definitive version of this song, as far as I'm concerned.

[interlinecar1]

Considering I'm Asian and last thing I'd do would listen to Irish folk music. Well! From today onwards I'm a honorary Irishman with a tan lol

[AingealDubh]

@interlinecar1 Tommy Makem has the sweetest voice ever!!!

[AingealDubh]

@interlinecar1 Status granted!!!



[robsargent4]

I didn't know they used the word tinker in Ireland. What a rousing song!

[pipa123100]

Great Tune!!

[frankofthetanks]

I was aware of some connection alright...doesn't change the fact that they are cringeworthy

[bigman1916]

I Love this album,!!!!!!!! In '77 I 'borowed' 5 bucks from my Mom to buy this and 'Hearty &Hellish" at Tower of Records......... I still owe Mom the 5

[ImJimHill]

@bigman1916 In the early 80's I "borrowed" any albums my mother had that I liked and put them to tape shortly thereafter. All the vinyl got lost in the 90's, but I listened to a cassette with this last week in the [older, with a cassette player still...] car. I'll pay your mom the $5 if you can find the record for mine!

cheers!

I bet red haired mary looks and talks like Chloe Agnew, but red hair instead of blonde, lol.

[bertiehair]

[bondie45]

[mlzielke]

Wonderful!!!! Love this song and no one does it better than the Clancy Brothers!!!!

Makes me feel 20 again!!!!

[MsAppleofmyeye]

nukem i agree i have a cd in my car of these great guys and every time that song comes on (even after hearing it hundreds of times) i still get da urge to dance around lol :-)

[relimes]

all the clancy brothers are dead now.

[rossmcl177]

Who is it who is leading here - is it Tom?

[nukem1981]

I first heard this song two years ago and it evokes such a wonderfully fun feeling i'm sure if I hadn't been in my car I would not have been able to resist the urge to jump yp and fling myself around dancing and hopping.trying to immitate some sort of jig.lol. I've loved this son ever since and they've opened my up to loving these wonderful Irish songs all new to me and beautiful. thank You!!!

[LittleMillsx]

[jkeppel90]

The closest you'll get to these guys are the High Kings.

[frankofthetanks]

@jkeppel90 Dream on...High Kings are Folk Lite

Clean cut, manufactured folk...quite sickening really

[TheEarthwitch]

[Dragonswarriorredone]

[Bartoniusz28]

Great song! He sings about woman and a little commotion around her, but in the lyrics there are not a single word about beer or whiskey :) He should be at least slightly drunk :)
