Ah man if only he looked after his voice or even cared about singing for more than 3 years! Even by 88 'fairtytale' time his voice was shot but they toured to much. Would of been a dream to hear him sing this way on later albums like "grace of god' and "hells ditch"
@@marycreagh9786 that was my point .... why people feel the need to opinionate on negative things is beyond me but hey that's online (social media) to an extend eh 💙 shane lived his life high on drink/drugs n smokes, worked for it, paid tax on it ..... 1 life choose it! He did, well played 💔
Deserves a million more views. RIP Shane.
A bloody legend no one can sing like Shane
Still holds up, R.I.P. Shane
The finest male singer in my lifetime (I'm 63) - only Charles Aznavour was comparable. ❤ RIP Shane, simply the best.

In 1841, the corduroy breeches I put on
Me corduroy breeches I put on
To work upon the railway, the railway
I'm weary of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway
In 1842, from Hartlepool I moved to Crewe
Found myself a job to do a working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
As I was working on the railway
In 1843, I broke the shovel across me knee
I went to work for the company, on the Leeds to Selby railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
As I was working on the railway
In 1844, I landed on the Liverpool shore
My belly was empty, me hands were raw
With working on the railway, the railway
I'm sick to my guts of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway
In 1845, when Daniel O'Connell he was alive
When Daniel O'Connell, he was alive
And working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
As I was working on the railway
In 1846, I changed my trade to carrying bricks
I changed my trade to carrying bricks
To working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
As I was working on the railway
In 1847 poor Paddy was thinking of going to Heaven
The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven
To work upon the railway, the railway
I'm sick to my death of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
As I was working on the railway
Absolute F in legend!!! Love you Shane
Brilliant❤

I Just heard the Luke Kelley version a few days ago and got hooked, now you upload this. What are the odds?
Your phone has been listening to you and checking on your interests. No coincidence, it happens all the time 🤐
@@janeyvickers4566 you are 100% correct 👍
RIP Shane #genuis 💚💚💚🎯😁
I love how they just skipped over 1842 and 1843 because Shane was obliterated
