Cait O'Riordan - "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day"

[@KimTebrok]

Cait is a fully trained psychologist, admits to gorging herself on young Irish Rugby players back in the day. What a beautiful woman & legend. ❤️🙌❤️🙌

[@noelcoffey9989]

Definitely

[@tonyprice8016]

[@cherylbryce4554]

I was there I'm one of her nieces it was so much fun

[@kflynn1867]

She's the best. I met her in London so, so many years ago.

[@persephoneo2897]

I wrote this two years ago on my grandmas account lol but anyway this is still one of my favourite memories I went with my older sister I went backstage and stayed in a hotel later that night and hung out the next day it was honestly so great. she and my sister are my favourite people.

[@BestUserNameUK]

That fiddle player is awesome👍🏼

[@minktrappingpaddy]

Well she's obviously one hell of a woman to be part of a band such as the Pogues👍

[@philliplewis-pm1ln]

named my daughter after this lady and after hearing this song just sweet

[@odemu2074]

A great song from one of The Pogues one of the best Irish band around!

[@edsa1318]

"So be easy and free when your drinking with me" " I'm a man you don't meet everyday" Brilliant lyrics. Love this 🙂

[@SamSung-xz7jt]

Old, old song.

[@thomaslequeux8857]

My new favorite singer is Cait O'Riordan. I couldn't stop playing this video when I first saw it. I hope some day to see a live version. I wish her well and hope she never stops singing.

[@Feathers10000]

RIP Shane for ever from Corsica !!!

Meaning of words in A man you don't meet every day

[@cristianbombardini4979]

Awesome!🤟😬❤️

[@andrewgothard5212]

Wow - Cait was cute as hell and bloody talented when I (think - I may have been nearly as out of it as the band - and it was a LONG time ago) saw her doing this with the Pogues at Edinburgh Building, Sunderland Poly. Definitely a fine wine thing going on there - stunning, elegant and even better. I think i should probably stop now.

[@olivermoynihan9804]

Love this song, love the voice

[@admedhurst6860]

[@PatIreland]

Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny gun man And a roving young fellow I've been So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day I have acres of land I have men at command I have always a shilling to spare So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day So come fill up your glasses Of brandy and wine Whatever it costs I will pay So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day Well I took out my dog And him I did shoot All down in the county Kildare So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day So come fill up your glasses Of brandy and wine Whatever it costs I will pay So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day So be easy and free When you're drinking with me I'm a man you don't meet every day

[@joewall2545]

wild mad pouge mahone.

[@bewildered6866]

There is an ongoing discussion as to whether a dog was shot or merely taken out to hunt. I contend that it was neither. The old T. Barker double barrel shotgun was nicknamed "a barker". Then "my barker" became fondly referred to as "My Dog". In other words he took out his gun to hunt. Their badge/emblem was of a bounding dog. Incidentally, "canny gau'n man" = astutely going man. Most Scots sing about a dog and a gun. Most Irish sing The Original about a T. Barker minus the mut.

[@alexandermartin8230]

I really think the T-Barker version makes sense as there no indication as to why he shoots a dog in the song, it comes across as he's just a farmer who likes a good swally and is easy to get along with and likes a good laugh

[@TheXitone]

i wouldnt have thought a farmer he sounds like clan chief .

[@ralphlowi2011]

I always took it to be like an "Of Mice and Men" situation. The dog might be old and needing to be put down and one of the hardest things to do it to take on your responsibility to give the dog peace. I haven't seen that explanation anywhere but that's how I've always read it.

[@BlueSky-ff3vr]

She once adlibbed "he was a bad dog".

[@Relicit]

What does the killing of the dog have to do with all this? Never understood. But I'm not english or irish.

[@petarst]

Cait where is bass guitar :) ?

[@leonardturner1136]

the gal on fiddle great.who is it?

[@JohnRokosny]

Deni Bonet - violin

[@leonardturner1136]

ok cheers

[@patrickdoran981]

Apart from her long-established musical talents, the reason for Cait's success is that she is 100% feminine. She is a beautiful feminine Irish woman. Any man will recognise this.

[@kalmannovich]

Great woman. And voice. Maybe she needs a double bass player...

[@drjones1736]

To be honest singing a song about how pathetic the person next door is doesn’t work as well without him. Speaking as which the pathetic alcoholic needing person we couldn’t exist without you.

[@Jessewren1968]

She's so fine.

[@russriddle3666]

When I first heard the original recording I thought it was Sinead....

[@louisegoodyear2515]

A great rendition of this song but the 'finest' is the original by Sinead O'connor and the Pogues😊

[@JohnRokosny]

Cáit sang the original - she was the bassist of the Pogues until 1986

[@Ard.cfc90]

Stay of the drink, this is the original 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Millwall77]

How the hell can you mistaken Cait for Sinéad?😂

[@wngbjngwwgk]

IF SHE STILL DOES MUSIC THEN WHY DIDN´T SHE TOUR WITH THE POGUES WHEN THEY WERE TOURING A FEW YEARS AGO?!?!

[@sharkweekcrockpot]

Likely because they didn't ask her

[@greenghost3797]

Because Elvis Costello finished her Pogues career😮

[@jackellock7113]

She doesn't look like a man... I used to be a man trapped in a woman's body, but then I was born.

[@michaelmclaughlin7325]

she is good but shane McGowan and the pogues is better

[@nahuilegorreta6572]

She was in The Pogues

[@jonathankelly2657]

Yeah, this is the voice that sang this song on Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. Same girl, same voice, same magic

[@christiantriebe8957]
