The Navigators Keg of Brandy

The Navigators Atlantic Canada's most unique electric/acoustic Celtic band features two of Newfoundland's impressive baritones Fred Jorgensen (whistles, bodhran, guitar) and the rich Newfoundland Irish voice of Arthur O'Brien (fiddle, acoustic/electric guitar) a singer songwriter with a genuine love of his homeland. The Navigators have received multiple awards and nominations. Their 3rd recording "Soldier & Sailors" delivers a mix of modern electric folk and traditional Irish Newfoundland melodies. In the last 12 months the band has toured The USA from Coast to Coast, Canada five times and in 2010 Europe

I may have said it before, but I don't mind saying it again. Fred Jorgensen's voice is a Canadian national treasure.

[@flaviusmacrobius1110]

Just remembered this song after a few months since the last time I heard it. Never gets old.

[@randellcayla]

I heard it live at Shamrock city .Terrific ! One of my favorite tunes

[@Pepsi295]

Fred and Arthur!Your voices complement each of other

[@christopherswan4904]

Amazing

[@mthai66]

This song is usually pretty tender; this is... Terrifying and awesome

[@Billytheshanty]

Awesome, can't say enough, best vocals I have heard in years!

[@jasonr4014]

You’re my boy Freddy!!

[@kimberleyrodgers7189]

First time I heard Fred live was in December! absolutely love his voice !!

[@steveiv9250]

Without actually seeing Fred in person you would almost imagine him to be much older, perhaps wearing a large salt and pepper Beard with a rum ragged voice. The man is a blessing to traditional music. One of my Favourites, up there with Luke Kelly, Christy Moore, Ronnie Drew, paddy Reilly and the likes.

I'm always drunk and I'm seldom sober, I'm constant rovin' from town to town; Ah, but I'm old now, my sporting's over, So, Molly, a stór, would you lay me down. Just lay my head on a keg of brandy, It is my fancy, I do declare; For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin', On lovely Molly from the County Clare. The ripest apple is the soonest rotten, And the warmest love is the soonest cold; And a young man's fancy is soon forgotten, So beware, young maids, don't make so bold. Just lay my head on a keg of brandy, It is my fancy, I do declare; For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin', On lovely Molly from the County Clare. It's youth and folly make a young man wasting, And it makes him tarry a long, long day; What can't be cured, love, must be endured, love, So farewell, darling, I'm going away. Just lay my head on a keg of brandy, It is my fancy, I do declare; For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin', On lovely Molly from the County Clare.
