A Miner's Lullaby (Coorie Doon) - Luke Kelly

Before any ointments thier was whisky anf Guiness to sothe the hard toil of diggin, wheaterh it the patties' or the coal, or the bridge abutments, you can not go back in the whole sober, itll kill ya

A miner's lot is a sad one. My OPA died from black lung. My hat's off to each one them -- each and everyone.

Ssssh! There's a great man trying to sing a lovely song here. Can we just listen and enjoy it???

DonegalRamie you are talking rubbish Deerpark mined coal for nearly 30 years and that's not to mention the coal mines in Ballingarry Co Tipp . And to insinuate that Ireland has no mineral resources is just ludacris considering we have the largest zinc mine in Europe in Meath , a little place called Tara mines, have you ever heard of it ? As well as zinc mines in Lisheen, Galmoy and a projected mine in Palas Green !!!!!!!!!!

Visuals such as these always worth looking at - remembering uncles and grandfathers.... sweet song - and I did feel that we were in a nice old bar together. And yes, we are Celts - we are more alike than we are unalike, for sure. Oh, & in those narrow seams, my loves: you keep a cool head and a sharp mandrell, now....................... Hwyl, Rebecca [and her daughters]. xx

scottish irish what ever even the hopeless welsh are celts we are no different we will always remain scrappy hot headed drinkers who make brilliant fathers of good sons who love there mad celtic girls even if they fight tooth and nail with every day and we all love our land...even if its bloody wet hard to work with and full of other pain in the ars celts that we love so very much!!!

That's what i was trying to say, my friend.

God bless.

It's a Celtic song.  Sang by an Irish genius with a Scottish granny. lol!

exactly, let's just enjoy the bloody song
