COLM I WANT TO SING WITH YOU WHEN I AM HALFWAY DONE WITH A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY
It's unfortunately just an instrumental, but the natsu theme song from fairy tail would be an awesome Collab for you two. Or reckless Kelly's crazy eddie's last hoorah!
"Irish jig goes metal" oh yes please
I want to drink with him after I am all the way done with a bottle of whiskey.
Y'all could SLAY Sleeping in the Cold Below from Warframe. One of Colm's best but dayum it asks for some metal vocals.
honestly you two could probably even, turn twinkle twinkle little star into a metal banger (tho i wouldnt be surprised if Jonathan did it already XDXD) anything yall make would work
LYRICS:
On the fourth of July,
Eighteen hundred and six,
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts
She had twenty-seven masts
And they called her The Irish Rover
We had one million bags of the best Sligo Rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs
Six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails
In the hold of The Irish Rover
There was ol' Mickey Coote
Who played hard on his flute
When the ladies lined up for a set
He was tootin' with skill
For each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his smart witty talk
He was cock of the walk
And he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance
When he took up his stance
That he sailed in The Irish Rover
There was Barney McGee
From the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk
Who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole
Who was drunk as a rule
And fighting Bill Treacy from Dover
And your man, Mick MacCann
From the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper on The Irish Rover
For the sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
That he longs for the shore
And a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away
Oh, the noise and the rout
Swillin' poitin and stout
For him soon the torment's over
Of the love of a maid, he is never afraid
That old salt from The Irish Rover
We had sailed seven years
When the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew
Was reduced down to two
Just myself and the Captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock
Oh Lord, what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around
And the poor old dog was drowned
And the last of The Irish Rover
(also, petition for Colm to start adding closed captions to his videos)
I thought he said, "And they knew at a glance/when he took off his pants" and I was very shocked 😳😂
I’d love the lyrics in the description box
Add my name to that petition!
Thank you! I can just about understand Colm's version, which is pretty amazing as he is singing at 1000 syllables per minute. 😁
@@peg9773: Unusually for Colm, I don't think he was quite up to scratch on the sound engineering, I think the flute needed to be just a shade more piano and the vocals just a shade more forte. Even despite that, I understood enough to enjoy a great performance of a classic silly song.
Upbeat tune, toe-tapping pace, everyone dies at the end. Yup, it's an Irish song all right!
Eh. Try Finnigans' Wake for a lovely little song.
Lol that's how you know all right also got Irish blood so these are all correct stereotypes from experience.
🤣
Sounds like insurance fraud to me like "you had 2 million barrels of stone, 4 million barrels of bone, 11 million barrels of porter, and you want to remind me how many masts this ship had?"
"Twenty-seven"
@@datguymiller Who else you gonna ask? He's the last of the Irish Rover.
I know you probably won’t see this colm but if you do just wanna say I’m a self taught pianist and composer and your stuff is a huge inspiration to me. I don’t have a lot of time to devote to music because I am in the US Military but your stuff helps inspire me to keep creating. Much love brother!
Thank you for you're service ❤️!
Thanks for your service mate. I might actually be enlisting soon myself!
Thank you for your service
If it makes you feel better, Colm saw your comment!
Thank you for service! I'm sure you'll make amazing music
🎶 There was Colm McGuinn, with a voice smooth as sin, as the captain of our merry mob
And the queen of the land, our dear Cerridwen, with pet spiders to make a man sob!
There's Grim, CleanixX, and Kec S telling jokes to the rest, while Lady Savannah brought muffins!
Then there's me, Jeremy, writing verses with glee for the Beauts of the Irish Puffin! 🎶
No comment will top this!
@@ColmRMcGuinness It's been a minute, figured I needed a good verse for one of my favorite songs! Cheers mate, I'm glad you like it 😁
Dude. a) heck, you are a most worthy bard. b) made my day to see myself on the list of crewmembers. :D
Hands down, you win the internet.
This is good dude 😁
Hell yes, another song for my playlist. With a new cover even the end of the holidays doesn't hurt that much. Already set my alarm for the premiere, can't wait to hear it
Man, it's weird hearing this sung by somebody sober. Absolutely banging rendition.
It seems almost a sin to sing this one without at least a few drinks in you
Lol, I must say Ronnie Drew is the classic drunk-man lyricist. When he sings Tim Finnegan's Wake - it definitely feels like you're there.
Shane made sure it was never sung sober. Such a silly song. I think all school children should be forced to learn and sing it.
Thank you Colm. My old Da used to sing this to me putting me to bed when I was about 4 or 5. He would make me laugh so hard! When he was done I was so tired I fell asleep before he even turned off the light. Great memories.
Did your father skip over the "charming young whore" line? 🤣 Regardless, that is an awesome memory of your dad!
@@millerjohn619 He must have skipped skipped it. To this day I've never heard that version! I'd be interested in a link to those lyrics.
@@Moondog-wc4vm that line is in this version!
@@millerjohn619 okay then I’m a complete muppet and have no clue what I’m talking about I missed that and feel shame that I did No sarcasm intended in my reply, I haven’t watched the vid again but I assume you are right and I got it wrong because I don’t remember that lyric and never paid enough attention to notice the difference.
I love Irish accents. When Irish people speak it sounds like waves crashing on a shingle beach at low tide
I've had the pleasure to visit Ireland. I got to see the sites and speak to the people. It was lovely!
They were as charmed by my "American accent" as I was by theirs. I had to explain that my American accent was probably somewhat unique. I was born in Michigan. But I joined the U.S. military, so I served all over the country, as well as overseas. I happened to be serving in London at the time I visited Ireland.
Living all over like that made me pick up slang terms from all over the United States. Though I still retain my Michigan/Canadian "accent."
They tried their best to explain the different accents in Ireland to me, as well. I did notice very slight differences in accents in the different cities I visited.
But yes, I agree. If I could choose to have a different accent, as well as the cultural knowledge to back it up, I would choose an Irish accent!
@@millerjohn619 I'm American but have a lot of family from Ireland about both Great grandparents on my mothers side came from Ireland and my Grandpa had brothers who were born there and came over as babies. I've always been fascinated by Irish accents and culture, one day Ill go over there try to meet distant relatives and visit Dublin as they live a few towns away.
My mom was born and raised in New Jersey and I was born and raised in Massachusetts. So I grew up with the Bostonian/Jersey accent with a hint of the Irish side of those accents. Its fun talking to people around the country and online around the world and how I cant pronounce "r" for alot of words.
"Twas a wonderful craft
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her..." ❤️✨⚓
The only other version of this I've heard was by the High Kings and I gotta say, not only am I seriously impressed(and I love your stuff already), I'm actually surprised at how many more verses there are! Thanks for all you do for us!
What a splendid cover of a true Irish anthem. Gladly you kept the spirit of The Pogues and The Dubliners. Still has it's own character. What a fantastic version. Cheers to you with some fine Redbreast!
Well, this is going to be epic...like always.
Another one bites the dust. Colm blasted the top off the Irish Rover. With his voice and music I've got another song added to my constant playlist.
Can't wait for the live chat!!! It's always sooo much fun!!!!
Thank You soooo much! I love listening to you. Especially when you do Irish ditties & sea chanties. This was a treat! 💚😁☘️
It’s Colm Time again! Looking forward to it 😍
Wow this song brings back memories, RIP to my late godmother who bought me my first Pouges CD when I was far too young to understand most the lyrics, I remember the stunned and awkward look on my mother's face so well :')
This guy is so crazyy he cans play litteraly all instruments in the world GORGEOUS !!! 🔥🔥🔥
One of my all-time favourite maritime songs, and you, sir, have covered it most masterfully.
I've always loved Irish music like this and your voice is amazing. You're my number one favorite male singer currently and I don't see it changing anytime soon (not to dismiss the incredible talent out there). Keep up the work Colm, we all love your talent and wish you the best.
congratulations, Colm--you've made my childhood favorite Irish song even better!
Every Colm's video is a wardrobe tour of his sweaters
Such a lovely version of this classic!!! Makes me instantly want to dance!
I really thought I was listening to The Dubliners at first. Great work!
we raise our glasses and drink to you :D
I've always liked this song when I first heard it from "The High Kings." You captured the whimsical story of the ship well, Colm. Bravo!
My favorite Irish-ish song!
Just when I think I've heard every version of this song (it's one of my favourite songs ever) you hit me with a verse I haven't even heard before.
Also you have at least tied for first place on my list of favourite versions of this song :D
What is it tied with?
@@alanyardley2820 The version The Longest Johns did together with Pyrates!
@@Piratenbraut that is also one of my favorites my all time favorite is a tie between Nathan carters and this
I love this! I'm gonna guess this is your natural voice range, your "easiest to sing" when you happen to have a song stuck in your head or in the shower or whatever. So perfectly Irish!
All the sweaters in this video look very warm and comfy. 🥰
“remind me” - check ….don’t wanna miss it
I grew up with this song because of my mom, and this makes my heart very happy.
Already hyped for this one!
Oh I can't wait!!!! Could you do a cover of " the Nightingale" from AC Black flag? Take your time tho, I know you have a schedule 😉
Wow ! Just wow ! You are amazing ! I had such a wonderful time hearing you sing . You made me truly smile . I can't wait to hear more from you !
i remember hearing this a ton when i was younger, and developed a love for this song. this brought back so many good memories, thank you
Gotta say i love playing along to your covers with my Whistle its been so much fun
I'm sure this one, like all your other covers, will be better (in my opinion) than the originals. Can't wait!!
Ya know... The more Iisten to your covers the more Ronnie Drew energy I hear you emanating in some of the songs. I love it, keep up the great work!
It's so fun and Colm you look like you are really enjoying this song
Never a bad time to listen to this again. :) Long live the Irish Rover.
Can't wait, here comes more inspiration

Couldn't be happier than hearing you cover this song. Thank you for your amazing work !
I love the shouted …2,3 after the slowed down bit!
Maybe for one of your shorter songs, you could do ‘it’s a long way to tipperary’? I absolutely love that song!
Love it! I missed the premier, cause I was thinking it was tomorrow, lol. Really energetic song
I heard this song for the first time in 1983 in a pub on the island of Inis Mòr 😍 and every time I hear it it takes me back to that wonderful journey and my twenties. Thanks for this wonderful version! I discovered your channel a few days ago and immediately became your fan! Kisses from Italy ❤

Incredible as always
Absolutely amazing! What we need now is your take on Mary Mac!
Absolutely amazing work!!!! Love this song in all its version and this one is top 3 easy+
Fun and upbeat! Thank you Colm for the wonderful addition to our week!
This is amazing! Going to add to my playlist when it comes on to Spotify.
One of my all time favorites! Great job!
Incredible cover! You articulate better than some of the older versions, so there were some words revealed that I had never understood before. lol I'd rank this right up with the Dubliners and the other greats!
This is an absolute beautiful piece and it's amazing. Well done, Colm!
So energetic. Just what I needed.
You sir, have earned a follow on here and on Spotify! I found you just today and I already can see how much of an amazing artist you are, I really enjoy your music!
I love Irish songs, someday I will come to Ireland and I hope to hear them live) 🍻

ACH HOW IS THIS SO GOOD. Made an otherwise kinda rotten day just incredible, and put a huge smile on my face. You've done it again Cap'n Colm! Can't wait for this album! Any chance you'll be putting out hard copies of this one (by which I mean cds)? I for one would be very interested.
