The Dubliners - Darby O'Leary

[@jessesands4099]

Great Song Sung Wonderfully by The late Ciaran Bourke 1935-88 one of his very best!🤗🧔🎙️🎸🎼🎼🎵🎶🥔🥔🥔🇮🇪

[@dumupad3-da241]

Perfect song, the kind I like - no nonsense, straight to the point and letting me know that I should never agree to work for Darby O'Leary.

[@skeetabix36]

Ciaran has an awesome voice, I love his singing

[@jimmymalone9139]

Ah poor ciaran. Great man they all were. John still beo. Or beo fos

[@jimmymalone9139]

Poor ciaran long dead

[@theliamofella]

Been listening to the dubs all my life but never heard this tune before, and I’m an O’Leary

[@wilfriedschuler3796]

Indeed, this songs is a bit hidden and buried amongst all the others. But, a cool story and I love it.

[@irishelk3]

I have always always loved Barney McKennas banjo sound, very mystical.

[@jimmymalone9139]

Second best banjo man ever. My coalman better than him. He hung around with barney in howth for years. Fished with him on his boat

[@irishelk3]

@@jimmymalone9139 Yeah?, he loved Howth didn't he?. Buried in Meath now i believe. I'm a Swords man

[@Artemisia494]

I love the way he says potatoes haha

She was fond of getting me to sing "I met her in the garden where the praties grow" Old tune don't remember the words now... its been more than half a century since I last sang it

I love the way he says any single word in this song. I love his voice and the way he raises it and lower it, how he bounces on some words... I love the story too, and it seems to me like he's telling, well singing, a serious story but laugh at the same time, though he's the "victim". I love the dubliners and I keep singing their songs I know. Thanks for sharing on youtube!

[@TerraRockerHubsilon]

By the way, what is Michaelmas night? and who is Saint Pat? (well I guess he means Saint Patrick as in Saint Patrick's day, but who is Saint Patrick?)

[@comettamer]

TerraRockerHubsilon A saint from medieval times, alleged to have driven all the snakes from Ireland. As to what Michalmass night is, ive no clue.

Michael Kilroe Thanks

[@michaelkilroe5881]

No problem. I figured the link was easier than writing an explanation of the day.

[@VazirMusic]

Dedication to boss

[@Hogo69]

Great song to drink a couple strong brews to.

[@matthewfoster6620]

Beautiful

[@LordOfNumenor]

Gah! How many songs have the same tune as Limerick Rake?! I've lost count now.

[@hometownstan1001]

Love me shake down , we used have them back in the day ?

[@mayukh16091983]

@Spartanhoplit : thats really good URL ... :) i stay in india..getting these type of songs in here is not easy...niways i'hav collected most of them...

[@sinjin480]

@markstief Canadian Government is Darby O'leary, treating us Newfoundlanders in a similar way.

[@dubliner85]

Hi, it's from the album 'At it again'

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

Ah now after finding this channel I could not stop the playlist at all so great missed a whole lot of TV worth it...Thanks Go raibh maith agat

[@tasosrory]

Πολυ συναισθημα!

[@daysgoneby3527]

Suddenly I feel less bad about my previous crappy jobs and employers...

[@nomansson4628]

And i thought my old boss was bad....

[@wardlow909]

Depending on the area, potatoes were called praty or praties so through the mixing accents it came out pratatoes.... :) my mother was fond of saying praties

[@wilfriedschuler3796]

@Leary Hebert Well praties. But do you know braxy ham? Ever heard? Or even eaten?

[@codo27]

trying to learn this now and cant stop laughing at the verse about the cats and rats

[@tomtesticle]

I was born not 4 miles from here. We knew it as "The Galbally Farmer" Incidentally, lt's not "the mount of Kilfeacle", it's the moat. Anyway, thanks for posting. Memories!

[@Pyro8]

@LordOfNumenor I wondered about it too :-) I know three (Limerick Rake, Champion and Keeping them Rolling and this one)... do you know more?

[@jimmymalone9139]

SIMILAR TUNE TO THE LIMERICK RAKE

[@LasArmas_]

It is. Pretty much same song diff lyrics

[@mayukh16091983]

I want all the songs of The Dubliners..can anyone gimme a url ?

[@leslieforeman7737]

Mayukh Ranjan Das Idownloaded their Discography from Bit Che, with the BitTorrent Downloader App on my computer.

[@robertflint2549]

Ciaran was such a good singer that one wonders why he wasn't used on vocals more. Perhaps Luke and Ronnie hogged the limelight, vocal-wise, during the heyday of this super-group. Jim McCann, sitting in front of this picture, wasn't bad either.

[@e.w.9351]

Anyone want to explain the line, “when the straw was brought in for to make me shake down”

[@rph111745]

putting down straw for him to sleep on

[@jameshlee17]

'Champion At Keeping Them Rolling' 'Cod Liver Oil' and 'Derby O'Leary'.

[@hometownstan1001]

No mistaking Luke's lovely voice

[@dickidydoodah]

Well, you've mistaken it because this is Ciaran Bourke singing.

[@wilfriedschuler3796]

@@dickidydoodah True. It is not Luke.

[@robertmcalpine488]

Perhaps you need your ears tested?

[@lycanthia84]

is it safe to say this song dates back to the 1840s? during the blight ?

[@haui61]

@mayukh16091983 try itunes!

[@Ifeelkindofalittle]

The lyrics made more sense but lost a bit of their charm once I found out he was saying "potatoes" and not "predators"...

[@daisypeters3216]

Marvelous old song sung by Luke Kelly and the Dubliners.

[@fatbap]

Sung by Ciarán Bourke...
