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

[@wardlow909]

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 potatoes haha

[@TerraRockerHubsilon]

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.

[@matthewfoster6620]

Beautiful

[@Hogo69]

Great song to drink a couple strong brews to.

[@LordOfNumenor]

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

[@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

[@dubliner85]

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

[@hometownstan1001]

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

[@VazirMusic]

Dedication to boss

[@sinjin480]

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

[@tasosrory]

Πολυ συναισθημα!

[@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...

[@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?

[@daysgoneby3527]

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

[@nomansson4628]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@lycanthia84]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@daisypeters3216]

Marvelous old song sung by Luke Kelly and the Dubliners.

[@fatbap]

Sung by Ciarán Bourke...

[@Ifeelkindofalittle]

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