This is probably my favourite version of this song.
I feel irish coming out of me
Italianmobster haha happy to hear it man!
Italianmobster a chi lo dici :-D io vorrei essere nato irlandese solo per suonare e cantare questi capolavori
Soldier of Ireland the Rovers have a decent one as well.
Yeah, good, old irish song. One thing - lead vocal is weak.
I love Irish music! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Some guy on the train played this on his guitar a few years back and I got so excited, my friend thought that I was crazy (again). My friends will never understand my music choice.
Because it’s quality, there’s is most likely robots 🤖 and junk
YES!!! Same!
Your friends need better taste in music.. lol
It is possible that it was me😳😂 which train was it?😀
Me to bud
Because at the end of day the Irish are the backbone of most of the modern world. Many things got done through the blood sweat and tear's of the Irish. Your a tough proud group and I love ya for it
Thanks! We love yiz too!
Damn straight.
I'm not even Irish and I listen to this one the daily. Ever since 2011 I've listened to them
Ha ha really? Where you live? It’s uplifting! Happy day to you
aye well you don't have a need to be irish to enjoy our music lass
Same!
That’s good idea 💡 I need more upbeat fun music like this on the regular starting today
My absolute favorite version of this song 💚 I love the change in tempo from a jig to a reel. So much fun to sing, listen and dance too. It makes my little Irish heart happy 🥰
What a true Irish voice...love this and the band :)
That'd be the voice of Martin Furey, son of the great FINBAR Furey and nephew to George, Eddie and the late Paul Furey.
Grandson to the late Nora and Ted Furey too.
Martin has majic in his singing voice, so talented💚🏴😍
I've never heard of these guys until now, but I'm glad I found them.
This song makes me wish i was Irish! best music on the planet!
I saw them in boston last year before the pandemic, best show of my damn life!!! Go see them if you have the opportunity
Their version is the best version of this song. Might have to see them live.
As a County Downer by birth and legacy...one word. YES! YES, INDEED ❤
This is my favorite version ever of this song!!!! I love "the Irish bit"!😄
Finding love is life ❤
I agree when i went to Shannon for the music festival in Ireland i heard this song played a lot, it was rarely played as a funeral song, its a love song that's meant to be joyful not depressing.
*Shannon*
This sure gets my foot tapping all on it's own lol.
That's the Irish coming out in you boy!
Alec MácCnáimhín Strangely enough I'm not even Irish. A bit of Scottish I believe, but still--I think I should've been part Irish--I love the music too much lol.
Andrew Penman Anyone who hears our music can't help but fall in love with it!
Alec MácCnáimhín Yeah! Except for 23 outcasts--they must be aliens. There must be something in their alien brain which denies them the awesomeness.
***** If I'm lucky I'll be staying in Ireland next year for the month of January, for a school trip! I tried for it this year but didn't get it. It sounds like a fantastic time over there though. And actually just for the hell of it I've been learning Irish/Gaelic (or I suppose, Gaelige) lately. I don't know much yet lol. However I believe if you were going to reenact a certain scene from Lord of the Rings, you could tear off a helmet (or a hat) and dramatically cry "Ní fear mé!" ;)
god i wish i was Irish i love you people
Respect to Irish people..with love from Algeria
shoutout irish ppl on god
I've heard this instrumentally and always much slower. This version makes my feet start to stomping. I love the timing change around the 1:05 mark. SO glad I can claim I'm 1/4 Irish descent.
Me too! First time I heard this song, the Irish dancer in me squealed at the tempo change! Lol
aye there me lad same
I love how much he enjoys singing this
The studio recording of this is a work of art, wonderfull ,I play it on my Irish Dance nights!
For most of my life 1) I didn't know there were words 2) I danced to a version of this done as a waltz (it's beautiful). Once I heard it up tempo and with words I have become obsessed.
Well, it just stays with the fast tempo of the chorus throughout the entire song. But this is only how they do live, their recorded version is like the one you know and love.
I like this way better for live situations, because it really makes you want to dance and have a good time.
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by.
She looked so neat in her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there.
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling queer
And I said, says I, to a passerby
"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me, and with pride says he,
"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown.
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
And the star of the County Down."
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down.
She'd a soft brown eye and
a look so sly and a smile like the rose in June
And you held each note from her auburn throat,
as she lilted lamenting tunes
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance
as she skipped through a jig or reel
When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift soul
And your heart she would likely steal
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down.
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
and I'll dress my Sunday clothes
With my hat cocked right and my shoes shon bright
for a smile from the nut-brown Rose
No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke,
'til the rust in my plough turn brown
And a smiling bride by my own fireside
sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down.
She'd a soft brown eye and
a look so sly and a smile like the rose in June
And you held each note from her auburn throat,
as she lilted lamenting tunes
At the pattern dance you'd be in trance
as she skipped through a jig or reel
When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift soul
And your heart she would likely steal

I agree. Orthodox celts is my favorite version but this one is sung very interestingly. I love pretty much all versions
Amazing 🙏🤛
Very good. hallo from Serbia
proud to be irish :D
I love this song
I personally like the "tempo de firetruck" a lot better to be honest. Gives it a very nice kind of feeling. Also being able to learn the lyrics and sing them this fast is damn awesome.
I love u guys
For a while i've been thinking of this as a japanese song.
synthmalicious is there a County Down in Japan?!! 😂😂
i went to a young voices concert and they sang with us!!
I love this!!! From a yank.
superb
0:25 Never have I heard something so Irish (I'm referring to the "Yew" BTW)
Man I really need to see a cool ass barfight with an assassin paired with this music.
Also this has a better beat drop than any dubstep song lmfao.
My fucking god. This is simply amazing.
Love you!
....suuuuper voice....
Super!
This is awesome! Come to Latvia :P
This is fucking amazing. Really 'm speachless.
FAB
great for pain relief xx
how?
Rocky road to Dublin
I love those guys, makes me proud to be Serbian.
Cool...Irish rap music!
tte studio version on spotify is amazing !
The best version of this song
Yes by!
I have a mostly Scottish ancestry, however I enjoy Irish music.
+hunter trammell likewise, our irish brothers have good folk music
+hunter trammell A Scotsman is only an Irishman what could swim and is yet unaware he is on another Island. Although there have been recent studies showing the Scots have as much link to Vikings as Celts. But the music is foot tapping fun
jall look all the same too me but in a good way
+Tim DeWolf half the scots were gaels so yeah.
Same here....
Honestly i prefer a slower version of this song but they did a very great job greetings and congratulations from italy ;)
I like their album version where they start at a slow tempo, speed up for the harvest fair verse and then slow it back down. I imagine a tempo change like that would be murder in a live performance.
Charlie Gallagher I do like the album version as well for that reason (the dynamics), however I love this version as well; I like Celtic rock and this is, at least from what I've heard, the closest thing to being like a rock version of the song lol; but I have no joke like 7 versions of this song from slow, beautiful, and in the 3rd person to roarin' fast and foot slammin' (this one). lol
Charlie Gallagher your right, Charlie. They were alot slower on the album, but their tempos actually vary more in this version over the other. the album could be set to a click track, while the live version would be nearly impossible to.
Anybody else sad that there only seem to be two of the four lads in their new vids? Damn shame. This is quality stuff
You need to come and play at O2 academy in Brixton ,London .... I would buy a million ticks !!!!!
With the quality tracks they record and perform, I think they should be much better known out of Ireland ! Marketing perhaps , more Galway girl and Maggie type pop folk which are great!
Mind writing great new songs is not easy!
Fajnie śpiewają The High Kings 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶💓💖🎵🎶💐💓💖🎵🎶💐😃🌛🌝
Are they ever coming to the baltic states? I wana see them live so much...
