This is probably my favorite song by them and it's not easy to choose just one! It's so much fun and I love how they use their voices to make rhythm. They harmonize so well. Buy the DVD, I just did, it's so worth it.
I'm so happy I found the High Kings some time ago in the internet. I love their music. As an Ireland fan I also love the irish music very much. This is my favourite good-mood song. Listen to it every day, especially in the car on my way to work! But I still don't get the diddl-de-dah-part ;-))
Love it! Gets me going in the morning even though I don't know the lyrics or the doo dahs. Good song to houseclean (ugh) to. (Right click on video itself and select loop. and the mood keeps on... :)
I learn this song in my music class. We even do a jig to it! You put your hands on your hips and kick slowly twice then fast four times, spin, and its so fun!
Outstanding music, this is what music was meant to be. It's great that bands like them and Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly keep the interest in celtic music alive.
I have played this on the guitar for years, often called Red Haired Boy in bluegrass circles, this is the first time I've heard it with lyrics. Here they are: Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman, I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am a beggar man X Well I'm a little beggarman and begging I have been for three score or more on this little isle of green. And I'm known from the Liffey from the basement to the zoo, And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu. Of all the trades that's goin' the beggin' is the best, For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest He can beg for his dinner, he's nothing else to do When he comes around the corner with his old rig-a-doo. And I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day 'Well good morning' little flaxy-haired girl, ' did I say, 'Well good mornin' little beggarman, how do you do, with your rags and your bags and your old rig-a-doo.' I'll buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie, And a nice young lady I will fetch by and by. I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll color them blue And an old fashioned lady I will make of her too. I've got the sky, I've got the road. I've got the sky... The world is my home. I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggar man, And I slept way down, in a barn at Caurabawn A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn With holes in the roof and the rain coming through And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo When who should awaken but the woman of the house With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse She began to frighten and I said "Boo! Ah, don't be afraid ma'am it's only Johnny Dhu." Die di die di diddle diddle dum Di die di die di diddle diddle dum. Diddle dum di diddle diddle dum. I've got the sky, I've got the road. I've got the sky... The world is my home. And it's over the fields with my pack on my back And over the fields with my great heavy sack With the holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o for old Johnny Dhu I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night When the fire's all raked and out goes the light Now you've heard the story of me old rig-a-doo It's goodnight and God be with you from old Johnny Dhu.
Verse 4 Over the road with my pack on my back Over the fields with my great heavy sack With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o and old Johnny Dhu I must be going to bed for it’s getting late at night The fire’s all raked and out goes the light So now you’ve heard the story of my old rig-a-doo It’s good-bye and God be with you says old Johnny Dhu
It's funny looking at these guys. I love thier music but watching is great. Going from left to right...Finbarr looks so much like his uncle Liam, Martin Furey smiles and bounces making him look like he should be in a kids sing along, Brian smiles like hes on the opening to a soap opera, and Holden has the look of a 16 year old...but an outstanding band anyway

Why are these guys not more well known?!? They’re incredible
They are!
That’s what I’m thinking!
Right? I was astounded that they are playing a concert just 20 miles away from my house in Western Washington!
Pbs used to. Play all the time only way I knew
@@genuinedraft7350 they are very well known. I saw them in Oregon last October.
I love watching them perform. They always look like they're having the time of their lives!
Chloe Macdonald yeah they always looked thrilled to sing
Yes yes yes! I love their preferences!
I used to sit on my grandmothers bed and play this on her gramophone I was 5 and am now 84 and still love it.
This is probably my favorite song by them and it's not easy to choose just one! It's so much fun and I love how they use their voices to make rhythm. They harmonize so well. Buy the DVD, I just did, it's so worth it.
Why do I love them so much?

Fainting Giraffe cause there music and there's reason for singing is pure not for publicly b it. They enjoy singing and the music that they represent
Because they are spectacular

Darren, Finbarr, Martin, and Brian, always love you! Fantastic as forever! better than other irish sounds! Love it always!
2:10 - that right there has to be the musical equivalent of "Made you look!"
have only just discovered this band! Hoping they come to Western Canada so I can take my parents to see them!
I'm so happy I found the High Kings some time ago in the internet. I love their music. As an Ireland fan I also love the irish music very much.
This is my favourite good-mood song. Listen to it every day, especially in the car on my way to work! But I still don't get the diddl-de-dah-part ;-))
These dudes are just incredibly talented.
Wow, how much fun this is!
Love it! Gets me going in the morning even though I don't know the lyrics or the doo dahs. Good song to houseclean (ugh) to. (Right click on video itself and select loop. and the mood keeps on... :)

0:03
It takes legit talent to get people to clap along to your stream of complete gibberish on your own XD
This is not gibberish...Educate yourself and do some research. There is a tragic history associated with how they are singing
Love it every time :)))))))))))
Quel talent! ! fantastique!
I learn this song in my music class. We even do a jig to it! You put your hands on your hips and kick slowly twice then fast four times, spin, and its so fun!

Outstanding music, this is what music was meant to be. It's great that bands like them and Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly keep the interest in celtic music alive.
I'm seeing these guys tomorrow and I'm SO EXCITED.
Beautiful
Well synchronized beautiful voices
Irish music is so refreshing
I have played this on the guitar for years, often called Red Haired Boy in bluegrass circles, this is the first time I've heard it with lyrics. Here they are:
Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman,
I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am a beggar man X
Well I'm a little beggarman and begging I have been
for three score or more on this little isle of green.
And I'm known from the Liffey from the basement to the zoo,
And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu.
Of all the trades that's goin' the beggin' is the best,
For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest
He can beg for his dinner, he's nothing else to do
When he comes around the corner with his old rig-a-doo.
And I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day
'Well good morning' little flaxy-haired girl, ' did I say,
'Well good mornin' little beggarman, how do you do,
with your rags and your bags and your old rig-a-doo.'
I'll buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie,
And a nice young lady I will fetch by and by.
I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll color them blue
And an old fashioned lady I will make of her too.
I've got the sky,
I've got the road.
I've got the sky...
The world is my home.
I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggar man,
And I slept way down, in a barn at Caurabawn
A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn
With holes in the roof and the rain coming through
And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo
When who should awaken but the woman of the house
With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said "Boo!
Ah, don't be afraid ma'am it's only Johnny Dhu."
Die di die di diddle diddle dum
Di die di die di diddle diddle dum.
Diddle dum di diddle diddle dum.
I've got the sky,
I've got the road.
I've got the sky...
The world is my home.
And it's over the fields with my pack on my back
And over the fields with my great heavy sack
With the holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through
Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o for old Johnny Dhu
I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night
When the fire's all raked and out goes the light
Now you've heard the story of me old rig-a-doo
It's goodnight and God be with you from old Johnny Dhu.
Love from morroco :) !
