my dad made me learn this song when i was small, and i still use it today as my party piece, but wow what a performance from tommy...........RIP...Top class
Oh my gosh - how could I have missed this performance! Pure brilliance, acappella no less!. It's one of the finest performances of Irish traditional music I've ever heard (and I'm rather deeply steeped in the old sod for better or worse.)
unreal tommy R.I.P im singing this song since i was 4 years old my dad learned it to me ,i had the luck to perform it in keady town were tommy was born on thursday night at a tommy makem truibute for is 10th anniversery i only live up the road in crossmaglen ....tommys nephews were there thank you all for letting me perform before colm sands cheers ...thanks :)i performed it in the tommy makem arts center in keady which was built in 2015 in his memory ...thanks all again ...b.farrell
There has never been such wonderful story teller through music as Tommy and Liam. Rest in peace me lads. The Lord Jesus must love having them in Heaven with him.
Wish I could have seen Tommy Makem and the Clancy's in concert but wasn't to be. I just love this song and have it on a double CD recorded at Carnegie Hall.
Excellent ! I inquired ... This wonderful song seems to have for origin a tune from the early XVII th century (Renaissance lute mainly). So go to lute ... The Co(b)bler/ The cobbler on CZcams and you will hear the original tune ( either from the Folger/Dowland or the ML/Sturt Manuscripts). Many good guitar transcriptions are heard too on CZcams but the ornementations seem to lack. Never mind ... Great thanks ! 8 stars ... All the best
this was an old Irish tune he said he was thought and shown the moves in this piece by an old Irish women who kept them and shown to him and this is how he came to know how to play it this tune as it goes way way back before him
Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler I served my time at ould camp Some call me an old agitator But now I'm resolved to repent With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy And me lab stone keeps beating away Now, my father was hung for sheep stealing My mother was burned for a witch My sister's a dandy house-keeper And I'm a mechanical switch With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy And me lab stone keeps beating away It's forty long years I have traveled All by the contents of me pack Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers I carry them all on me back With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy And me lab stone keeps beating away Oh, my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy Me wife she's the devil, she's cracked And no matter what I may do with her Her tongue, it goes clickety-clack With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy And me lab stone keeps beating away It was early one fine summer's morning A little before it was day I dipped her three times in the river And carelessly bade her "Good day" With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy And me lab stone keeps beating away
This is Liam Clancy of the Clancy Brothers. Not Tommy Makem. Still wonderful but Tommy is the curly Blond.Check out Tommy singing Óró, Sé do Bheatha ‘Bhaile with the Clancy Brothers.

Awesome.
Saw him in 2002, or so. He did this song and you could hear a hair drop, it was that quiet. He's the master.
It didn’t and won’t get any better. God bless Tommy, Liam, Paddy and Tom Clancy.
Amen
Oh my gosh - how could I have missed this performance! Pure brilliance, acappella no less!. It's one of the finest performances of Irish traditional music I've ever heard (and I'm rather deeply steeped in the old sod for better or worse.)
Tommy was a true bard..I'm blessed to have seen him perform live.
Amazingly rich voice! I love it.

Great song. Real talent. Why have we not got artist like this around anymore. Can watch this over and over.
There has never been such wonderful story teller through music as Tommy and Liam. Rest in peace me lads. The Lord Jesus must love having them in Heaven with him.
Used to love this great song when I was a teen. How could I have forgotten about it for 50 years?
Priceless video. No one sings this like Tommy could. Thanks so much for posting.
Brilliant 👏
May God keep him the palm of his hand. The angels have another voice for their choir.
This song is built on a thousand years of tradition. Feels good man
Sigh, I was born too late... lovely performance. Part of the Greatest Generation of Irish singers.
Incredible voice!
wonderful. ..
Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories
Mullingar Fleadh 2022 brought me here. 1st time I heard it in years
I'm a houseless traveling clown/psychedelic dealer and this is one of the songs I sing on the corner in the places I go
Brilliant! Love it! One of my favourite folk songs.
makes me proud of being from county Armagh RIP bet you are amusing the angels up there
Straight to hell for this abomination
Great talent I watch Tommy every day,
Love You Tom RIP
Awesome.... My wife has learnt this song and I love it!!! Thanks to my republican father David.

The best blues in the world.
He was amazing....R.I.P....
You don't have to be Irish to love this.

I dont know.... I shared this with an Italian and I swear he didn't enjoy it the same as me

Well said
Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler
I served my time at ould camp
Some call me an old agitator
But now I'm resolved to repent
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
Now, my father was hung for sheep stealing
My mother was burned for a witch
My sister's a dandy house-keeper
And I'm a mechanical switch
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
It's forty long years I have traveled
All by the contents of me pack
Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers
I carry them all on me back
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
Oh, my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
Me wife she's the devil, she's cracked
And no matter what I may do with her
Her tongue, it goes clickety-clack
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
It was early one fine summer's morning
A little before it was day
I dipped her three times in the river
And carelessly bade her "Good day"
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
thanks for putting these words up deeply appreciated

Ghastly!
Is this Tommy’s channel or just a fan base!? Cool either way☘️

Ha! No, this IS Tommy Makem.The curly blonde is Tom Clancy.
You must mean the writer, not Tom Clancy, brother of Liam
Don't Makem like that anymore
I want my money back.

I LOVE the song, but the constant spitting is too much when I'm listening to it.....
I'm really not keen on that spitting either, why does he spit I wonder?
