a Irish song about a red haired gypsy named Mary? perfect :)

[@skellagyook]

Not a Gypsy (Roma/Romany), a Tinker (Irish Traveller).

Who said the Pixies invented the: Loud-soft-loud sound?!! The Clancys were doing it from time immemorial!

While goin' to the fair of Dingle One fine morning last July When goin' down the road before me A red-haired girl I chanced to spy I went up to her, said I "Young lady, My donkey, he will carry two!" "Well, seein' as how you have a donkey, To the Dingle fair I'll ride with you!" Now, when we reached the town of Dingle I took her hand to say goodbye When a tinker man stepped up beside me And he belted me in my left eye! "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll see the priest this very morning! Tonight, we'll lie in a married bed!" Now, I was feelin' kind of peevish And my poor old eye was sad and sore And I gently tapped him with my hobnails And he fell back through Murphy's door! "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll see the priest this very morning! Tonight, we'll lie in a married bed!" A policeman came around the corner And he told me I had broke the law When the donkey kicked him in the kneecap And he fell down and broke his jaw! "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll see the priest this very morning! Tonight, we'll lie in a married bed!" Then he went off to find his brother The biggest man you ever did meet And he tapped me gently with his knuckles And I was minus two front teeth! "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll see the priest this very morning! Tonight, we'll lie in a married bed!" Now, the red-haired girl, she kept on smiling "I'll go with you, young man" she said "We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight, we'll lie in Murphy's shed!" "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll forget the priest this very morning Tonight, we'll lie in Murphy's shed!" Now, through the fair we rode together My black eye and her red hair Smiling gaily at the tinkers And by God, we were a handsome pair! "Keep your hands off red-haired Mary! Her and I will soon be wed! We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight, we'll lie in Murphy's shed!"

YOU FOOL

[@danielmcgee2879]

Are any of the Clancy boys still kicking?...I would like to see them.

[@winstonchurchill624]

Daniel McGee That's a good question. I want to know too.

[@00bcls]

Sadly no, Liam Clancy died in Dec 2009. He was the last one. His funeral can be found on youtube.

[@rhysjames8693]

Sadly the original lineup have all passed on. Bobby's only son Finbarr however performs with the band The High Kings and he was at one time a member of the Clancy brothers lineup in 1996-98 so technically he counts right?

[@danielmcgee2879]

Thank you for responding with that Rhys.....Take care now

[@MarleneSTaylor]

The Chieftains are the closest to redoing their music that are still kickin'
