The Legendary Luke Kelly

[trevhullett]

Simply love the man, I also wish that he was alive today, death is so final. Luke, you will never be forgotten, never.

He has a unique voice. He was rare ballade singer. May he very happy where he is now. God bless him.

You made a collection Luke's photos in memorable and unforgettable moments., like him sleeping in the car, looking at himself in the mirror and making a funny face. He was a very good- humored person. Yes, they are memorable moments wonderfully chosen, well done! Congratulations! Surely, Luke's resting in peace. Thank you so much for sharing with us this marvelous collection!

Com all ye tramps an the hawkers lads
An gaitherers o blaw
That tramps the contrie rownd an rownd
Com lissen an an a'
A'll tell tae ye a rovin tale
O sites that A hae seen
It's far intae the snawy north
An sooth bi Greetna Green
Aft tyms A've laufd intae mysel'
When A trudged on the road
My tor rags rownd my blister't feet
My face as brown as toad's
Wi lums o cake an tattie scons
Wi whangs o braxie* ham
No gien the thocht frae whaur A've com
An lest frae whaur A'm gaun
A've don my share o humpin wi
The dockers on the Clyde
I've helped in Buckie trawlers haul
The herrin o'er the side
A help tae build
The Michty Bridge**
That spans the busy Forth
An wi mony an Angus fairmer's trig***
A've plooed the bonnie earth
A'm happy in the summertime
Beneath the bricht blue sky
No thinkin in the mornin whaur
At nicht A'll hae tae lie
In barn or byre or anywhaur
Dossin oot amang the hay
An if the weather treats me richt
A'm happy every day

This recording should be credited to The Dubliners, not just Luke Kelly, and it's not rare - it's from their debut album, The Dubliners With Luke Kelly, which was released in 1964.
