Ah that's great. Nice one Damo.

Damien is the Apple of Ireland's eye💚 Anyone upset about the lyrics changes can sing it as loud as they want in their back garden. I can't wait to hear you all when I go for my lockdown walks❤

What brave is John Sheashan!

Damien Dempsey 💙 A powerful song 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@pemacal57]

Why he changes the lyrics? I mean in the phrase " I lost her to a student chap...**here**

[@micheal2733]

Because the original lyrics might be racist.... I lost her to a student chap. "With skin as black as coal "..The country is gone crazy...

[@pemacal57]

@@micheal2733 Yes, I know the lyrics..why racist? I do not agree

[@micheal2733]

@@pemacal57 I agree...I was at a session with Luke Kelly's sister last night..

[@charlottedowling2241]

Wow brilliant.

[@rustyred6848]

Good man damo

[@assafb7012]

I dont care that he changed the words, and sure Luke wouldn't either... but he murdered that song!

[@darrenflynn1564]

If he has so much respect for luke why change the words?

[@seanpauldoherty5658]

Well done Damien, look like you enjoyed that

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

Jayus he brutalised that song, Luke loved patsy watchorn singing the rare old times I rather Luke's version but you can't argue with Luke Kelly when it comes to singing

[@7basement]

HE IS A GREST SCREAMER ,hope he has another job

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Totaly agree with you .Luke was a rare talent .he could sing a train timetable and make it soung good.very much missed..

[@johndoyle1810]

Still doing time in the worst place of all,,,my head

[@pemacal57]

A song by the late Pete St John. Mr. Dempsey must be more respectful with the lyrics.

[@damien1351]

Don't change the lyrics. Show respect...

[@pemacal57]

I just wrote the same

[@guiltbyimplication]

Damo, why change the words to make it politically correct?

[@micheal2733]

I noticed that...

[@johnmcgrath5698]

Times were living in everyone scared to want to politcally correct sham changing the words fuck u damien having no balls to sing the song with the right words

[@jj1211]

I sang along really loud with the right words. Hope that helps a bit 💚

[@albertobotton5621]

Politically correct is a disgrace all over the world. An italian who loves your beautiful country and culture

[@micheal2733]

@@albertobotton5621 Even The Fields of Athenry...some nutters leave out the second verse...

[@EmmaConlon-h7b]

If John Sheehan is playing alongside him you can be assured he is not in the slightest bit fake

[@johndoyle1810]

The donaghmede dynamo

[@robertpirsig5011]

That tune suits Damo. Lovely rendition.

[@kathleenlynch5763]

No Damion Dempsey isent fake .hes just got a different way of singing a song.tho i do agree he should have kept to the proper words.Luke wouldent have liked that.lovley to see John Sheehan there.he's a master on the tin whistle.but as much as i like Damion's singing he's not Luke .nothing can compare to him .miss you Luke.

[@gearoid9835]

I remember Dublin city when we didn't give into political correctness. Changing the lyrics is an insult to Pete St. John and to Luke Kelly.

[@7basement]

exactly .. political correctness kiss my ass.

[@johnmcgrath5698]

Where all the new irish

[@soldier2297]

He left out the verse that mentioned them

[@marianlynch4829]

Why would the so called new Irish be there? ....they'll never be what's called real Irish ..nor do they want to be....at the rate we're going there won't be any Irish left.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Dempsey always seems a bit fake to me, I saw the Dubliners back in the day, mighty men to drink Guinness, Luke Kelly sung better in the shower than this.

[@pemacal57]

I think so

[@allisnotwhatitseems.]

I understand what you mean. His Vicar Street shows are some experience though.
