Goes something like this... My name is McNamara. I'm the leader of the band. Although we're few in number, we're the grandest in the land. We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball. But when we play at funerals, we play the marchers' sull (spl not sure what that word is). Dodedoo, de de de doo. Dodedoo. .............. That's all I remember of my mom singing it to me. Love my Irish roots.
My Dad was Irish through and through. He had a beautiful voice and growing up he sang lovely Irish ballads and drinking songs. I promptly went to Kindergarten and sang "Whiskey in the Jar", must to the consternation of poor Miss Browne. 😁
I’m in England and only stumbled across the QCSB today - I’ve now watched all the videos - this one 4 times! wonderful music that just makes you smile👍👍👍
I was born on St. Patrick's Day. This band is just awesome and Jimmy struts his stuff just as proud as can be. Jimmy is truly good looking and has us women swooning over him. I thoroughly enjoy hearing and seeing this whole string band. They are great.
What a great band and the leader made me smile and every other Irish person in the world, I couldn’t stop tapping my feet. Absolutely terrific, from Ireland ☘️🇨🇮☘️👏👏👏👍
Love from the Wild Atlantic Way,Ireland. So proud to be Irish and my heritage. Hope you enjoyed participating in the parade you made alot of us smile and proud .🇮🇪❤🎉❤☘️☘️☘️

My Irish half is smiling. It’s been decades since I’ve heard this happy song from my childhood. Thank you!💚

Your Dad taught you the best songs and you must pass them on to the next generation ☘️🇮🇪☘️👍
@@irishterminator. My voice is nowhere what my Dad's was, but I'm doing my best. Sometimes the cat runs under the bed, but I keep singing! ❤🇮🇪
This was the song my father used to sing When he 'had a few'! He passed away 29 years ago, miss him still. Greetings from Northern Ireland
God bless you from Chicago, Souside Irish, Give Ireland back to the Irish.
