Try hunting down the albums of The Clancy Brothers, with or without the Great Tommy Makem.

This is the tune of our Australian sheep-shearing folk song, 'Click Go The Shears'.

[@bobhart1332]

I'm from Australia and I hear a well known song here "Click go the Shears". Now I know where the tune comes from.

[@aleksandrasavic6886]

They are awesome!

[@mexico53ify]

How interesting!!! 2 cultures, one tune.

[@TokyoBlue587]

My favorite version of this song!!

[@bobtunbridge7996]

Was 10 of them when they first started

If you squint, you can see where the Drop Kick Murphy's get their inspiration.

love the sea shanties not so keen when they wander onto other things.

[@TheKateO13]

"Click go the shears" here in Australia!!!!

[@mexico53ify]

Out on the board the old shearer stands, Grasping his shears in his long, honey hands, Fixed is his gaze on a bare-bellied "Joe," Glory if he gets her, won't he make the "ringer" go. Chorus: Click go the shears boys, click, click, click, Wide is his blow and his hands move quick, The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow, And curses the old snagger with the blue-bellied "Joe." In the middle of the floor, in his cane-bottomed chair Is the boss of the board, with eyes everywhere; Notes well each fleece as it comes to the screen Paying strict attention if it's taken off clean. The colonial experience man, he is there, of course, With his shiny leggin's, just got off his horse, Casting round his eye like a real connoisseur, Whistling the old tune, "I'm the Perfect Lure." The tar-boy is there, awaiting in demand, With his blackened tar-pot, and his tarry hand; Sees one old sheep with a cut upon its back, Hears what he's waiting for, "Tar here, Jack!" Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques, Roll up your swag for we're off on the tracks; The first pub we come to, it's there we'll have a spree, And everyone that comes along it's "Come and drink with me!" Down by the bar the old shearer stands, Grasping his glass in his thin honey hands; Fixed is his gaze on a green-painted keg, Glory he'll get down on it, ere he stirs a peg. There we leave him standing, shouting for all hands, Whilst all around him, every "shouter" stands His eyes are on the cask, which is now lowering fast, He works hard, he drinks hard, and goes to hell at last!

[@17ambi]

where the hell is the original that was on youtube just yesterday???

[@1200aussie]

[@banoffee384]

[@antilife3460]

Fucking great work

[@MacKenziePoet]

Is this a real group or were they just a Netflix creation for the one movie? If the latter, then they should really get together and start recording away!

[@morganventura]

They are a real group. The movie is based on their story. A sequel has been filmed.

[@deanawade5878]
