@declanjahern The Only one Luke wrote himself was "For What Died The Sons Of Roisin"

[LockhartSpain]

@irishmanandproud Despite losing relatives in the struggle, none of my family would say that "the British" were to blame - it is not the common people of Britain who have raped and robbed Ireland over the past 800 years - most were too busy being raped, robbed and starved by the same masters that subjugated the Scots and Irish because their own people had become too troublesome. Luke Kelly knew this and often spoke of it.

[TheTrueGalwayGirl]

the thing is they paint all travellers with the same brush..

they spend there time pickin faults with travellers but in actual fact they should admire hw the travellers are keepin old ireland alive. ive grow up with travellers and have never judged them in my life, only benefited from being in their presence. all i can say is long live Irish Travellers.

Remember this song being sung by Ewan when I was a child, by the way what did that poor woman do behind Luke to deserve such treatment ?

[nipplebrady1988]

[nipplebrady1988]

@declanjahern he wrote "walking in the dew"

brilliant> grew up listening to Luke and the boys. Holds many happy memories for me. My father was irish although I was born and raised in England. Doesn't make the music and its sentiments any different for me. Can still love the music for what it is

[dubcindub15]

A song about the travelling people, and most comments involve fighting......how unexpected!

[hemanjoyce1]

the worst man who hates the travelling man is a IRISH MAN the biggest hypocrite on this side of the clay.PROUD TO BE A TRAVELLER

[irishpodge121]

@rostovondon46 why the fuck are you mouthin at him, he didnt say anything wrong. he's IRISH. thats all that counts, you lose someone important and he is fighting for ireland than all true irish patriots lose someone

[ThePudd63]

This song is by Ewan MacColl and is about all travelling people of the british isles; where the nomads - entertainers, horse traders, fare men, itinerant workers and tinkers etc .of which I am proud to be, have wandered for centuries ...

[irishgeal1]

nobody but nobody can sing like this man, period.

@irishmanandproud can you say your grandfather fought against the Tans at Skibbereen I can, can you say your uncle was interrogated and beaten to a pulp by peelers at the bridewell,I can, can you say your granduncle went down with the Repulse working as a stoker for the royal navy, I can, Can you say your grandfather fought at the bulge with the British army, I can.800 years of memories how many have you that you hold such a grudge against anyone? where was your war, what battle did you win.
