Iif you imagine an expert in producing the resin, who travelled around, visiting musicians applying the resin or roisin, he would become known as Roisin the Bow.
-
Roisin is a corruption of the word Rosin, also known as Greek Pitch. It's a resin, obtained from the pine tree and used by players of stringed instruments. They rub it on the bow string so it can better pick up the violin strings, or other stringed instrument. So, Roisin the Bow is simply rubbing resin on the bow string.

Definately the BEST version of a great song !

When I'm dead and laid out on the counter
A voice you will hear from below
Saying "Send down a hogshead of whiskey
Take a drink with old Rosin the Bow."

@BeastlyIrishman a comparison is Charlie Daniels' Devil went down to Georgia, "Johnny, roison up your bow, and play your fiddle hard."
-
roison the bow on the fiddle
thats what it means
-
@BoudiccaBlanc Perhaps he is Roisin Le Beau? I figured the first name to be Gaelic but the last to be French. The beautiful dark rose? Some guy who was Black Irish or a Frenchman who fought for the Irish?

The Dubs look like they're having a blast! That's the best part of being able to see the video, you get to see them having fun while they're performing. Take a drink!
