[@guapoviejo9135]

The house, the yard, and the gamily sitting in a circle singing reminds me so much of a typical summer family party at my mom and dad's house. Those sede wonderful times, and I sometimes (like right now) tear up when I remember them. RIP all my family.

You could tell he was really nervous, but that was a great job. So much fun. Even better in a bar with a bunch of drunk people.

haha nothing makes that kid nervous! ;)

[@JoeSki253]

@@Masononthetube agreed, you know he’s been doing that song routinely and they made him do it at the gathering. More pressured into it than nervous

[@Delcattiy]

To be point blank honest, I keep coming back to this particular video because I love his voice. It's just PERFECT for this song! Every time I want to listen to this song, I'll always look up this video. The guy has a wonderful voice that I could listen to him singing all sorts of pub songs, and to be honest, country as well

I have Irish blood in my, as far as I know, Welshmen are Irish that couldn't swim while Scotts like yourselves are Irish that lost the compass and map. This song rules.

[@PHJimY]

An old Mike Cross song. Mike has recorded it a couple of times, but the version that Jessie learned it from was probably Bryan Bowers, recorded live at The 1980 Winfield National Flat Picking Festival and on his "Home, Home On The Road" LP. Bryan does the "ring ding diddley i dee o" line a wee bit differently than Mike. The proper title for the song is "The Scotsman", not "The Drunken Scotsman". I'm sure Mike would approve of Jessie's version - Great job Jessie

[@YourNewBuddy]

Must be nice to be able to bust this out. I'll never know the pleasure of entertaining a party with the singing of a Dr. Demento classic.

[@lobitome]

Always great when young lads sing classics such as this. He did a great job.

Did a braw job of that song, lad. well done.

[@samuelolszowka1191]

I think you are great. Your voice is amazing and really fitting to this song. It cracked at the point with the "first prize", but that is something that happens. I like it ^^

[@jameslambert8117]

He may have been nervous but it has a voice and family as a captive audience. Great show.

[@caroltubeyou]

Great rendition. Perfect voice for this performance! Good for you to stay on key for the whole thing. Ye couldn't ha' bin drinkin' all that much at this point in the party. While This feels like an authentic Scottish drinking song, it was actually written by a Carolina songwriter named Mike Cross in 1979, Look for Mike Cross's CDs or go online, because he writes some great funny songs.

[@soundscotsman]

Thanks for the heads up. Need to give the guy a wee listen

[@maconescotland8996]

An old Scots pub song ? I've never ever heard this before now !!!

This song has been around for decades. It's by Bryan Bowers, released in 1980.

This is a smaller version of how our family gatherings. My grandmother has 7 siblings I think. And all of them have several children and their children have several more. We are 50+ people and my grandmother is a amazing guitarist and we also have a couple great singers.

[@warlordwurzoggwigsplittaht2933]

First off that was great!! I can't believe the folks let you sing that but hey its our heritage. I'm cut from the same cloth.. Second I don't normally go typing my family's history in a comment section but your video got my attention. So.. on my father's mothers side( my grandma) its all immigrants from Scotland and Norway. Her parents, my great grandmother was from Scotland/Ireland and my great grandfather was from Norway met in New York at Ellis Island.... On my dads father's side(my grandpa) its all English and Scottish from Maine that came over from England hundreds of years ago and have been in New England ever since.. So my dad is half Scottish and a quarter English and a quarter Irish I suppose in lamens. My mothers side is French/Indian( Native American)German and Irish. So I got a quarter Scottish in me and a quarter Irish and then the rest is English,French,German and Native American. My last name though is as English as old English can be so I've always been shown our English coat of arms but I always knew we had other bloodlines in our family and I've always been interested in learning about them. Sorry for the long post but its cool to see other family's that are about there history.
