I'm an Irishman, not even born in the 20th Century. Was born in the mid 2000s but still a big fan of the Dubliners. I was only 2 years old when Ronnie Drew began sleeping peacefully in gods arms.

I'm sitting with my tears imagining the old days.. Melancholy and longing I'll shut up now and get back to my beer...
