As staggeringly stunning as both voices are here, the guitar playing from Paul is outstanding. That's his own arrangement and it's quite simply beautiful. Beautiful.
Rufus Wainwright has impeccable folk singing lineage on both sides of his parentage. It’s no surprise then that he can carry off Arthur McBride with such aplomb. Well done to them both! Excellent joint rendition of an absolute classic that I never tire hearing.
I first heard Andy Irvine singing this with Planxty back in 1975 or thereabouts , of course Paul Brady is the master and I never tire of hearing and watching the multiple versions available on TH-cam ......didn’t think I’d enjoy Rufus Wainright singing this classic but his voice has a tone and a richness which really suits , his theatricality lends itself too .......I really enjoyed , even if it did go slightly off the rails towards the end
At exactly 41 seconds Paul Brady looks the spitting image of Harvey Keitel. Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd write. :D Epic song and as always a lovely rendition.

So thankful this got filmed. Hearing Rufus singing this, while clearly channeling Paul Brady's version, is simply sublime.
As staggeringly stunning as both voices are here, the guitar playing from Paul is outstanding. That's his own arrangement and it's quite simply beautiful. Beautiful.

Alwsys loved this song, and what a great job Rufus does there. Great voices.
Wait, Paul can still sing like this all these years later? Beautiful.
And more remarkably, still do the playing. Many guitarists struggle as we get older!
Top version.
Love it.
Listening in Australia 🇦🇺
👏👏👏
Good lord, Rufus' addition to this is epic. I wsn't sure if it'd work, but he's just so magnificent, big fan of both separately, and now, together!
Thank god someone recorded this, fecking brilliant.
A couple of pros singing a masterpiece....and the crowd singing along. I wish I was there!!!!!
J’aime.... bravo Paul Brady and RufusWainright!!!
This is fantastic, first time I saw this. Huge Paul Brady fan, Rufus Wainwright makes a great job of it.
Thanks Paul and Rufus for uplifting our spirits, even as far as Australia!
me too in bRISSIE YO!
love Rufus Wainwright!!
.... gives me goosebumps.
Fabulous version
Fabulous! I’ve loved PB for forty-odd years, and RW since I saw Vibrate on ?Jools Holland one night. How well matched they are.

A wonderful early Christmas present! Tremendous! Glad I found this and thanks so much for posting this.
This is brilliant
beautiful version
Good example why we call some people stars: we all come from the stars..., but we sing and we have singers like Paul and Rufus!
The first person I’ve heard sings it as well as Paul Brady himself.a lovely surprise although I knew he was a moving singer already.
Beautiful!
Love both of these guys so much...!
Two magicians.
Excellent performance! 👍
Av been a fan of Paul's tunes from 79
So great
Both have brilliant voices but Rufus's solo section was totally enchanting. Paul's voice is spectacular too, especially considering he was over 70.
Magnificent!
Would sell my soul to play guitar like Paul Brady.
He's so underrated. He's just the complete package.
If only he could dance. :D Hahha!
if you know both of these guys, congrats you have good taste
2 great artists
Awesome!
Love ❤️

Lyrics:
Oh, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride
As we went a walking down by the seaside
Now, mark what followed and what did betide
For it being on Christmas morning
Out for recreation, we went on a tramp
And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp
And a little wee drummer, intending to camp
For the day being pleasant and charming
"Good morning, good morning" the sergeant did cry
"And the same to you gentlemen" we did reply
Intending no harm but meant to pass by
For it being on Christmas morning
But says he, "My fine fellows if you will enlist
It's ten guineas in gold I will slip in your fist
And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust
And drink the King's health in the morning"
"For a soldier he leads a very fine life
And he always is blessed with a charming young wife
And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strife
And always lives pleasant and charming"
"And a soldier he always is decent and clean
In the finest of clothing he's constantly seen
While other poor fellows go dirty and mean
And sup on thin gruel in the morning"
But, says Arthur, "I wouldn't be proud of your clothes
For you've only the lend of them as I suppose
And you dare not change them one night, for you know
If you do you'll be flogged in the morning"
"And although that we are single and free
We take great delight in our own company
And we have no desire strange faces to see
Although that your offers are charming"
"And we have no desire to take your advance
All hazards and dangers we barter on chance
For you would have no scruples for to send us to France
Where we would get shot without warning "
"Oh now!", says the sergeant, I'll have no such chat
And I neither will take it from spalpeen or brat
For if you insult me with one other word
I'll cut off your heads in the morning
And then Arthur and I we soon drew our hods
And we scarce gave them time for to draw their own blades
When a trusty shillelagh came over their heads
And bade them take that as fair warning
And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their side
We flung them as far as we could in the tide
"Now take them out, Devils", cried Arthur McBride
"And temper their edge in the morning"
And the little wee drummer we flattened his pow
And we made a football of his rowdeydowdow
Threw it in the tide for to rock and to row
And bade it a tedious returning
And we having no money, paid them off in cracks
And we paid no respect to their two bloody backs
For we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks
And left them for dead in the morning
And so to conclude and to finish disputes
We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits
For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts
And bid them look sharp in the morning
Oh me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride
As we went a walkin' down by the seaside
Now mark what followed and what did betide
For it being on Christmas morning
Could anybody tell me the name of this song ?
Arthur McBride
@@smiffy8364 oh I see ! Didn't know this song !! Thanks
