As a Polishman, I feel a spiritual kinship to the Irish, especially in the struggle for self-determination in face of invasions and subjugation, through the last century. I can't think of a singer who more powerfully embodies the Irish spirit than Kelly. And what a performer, exhorting the audience with his "Let's Hear Ya!"s.

Dicky Herlambang It’s about a lad who’s out in the town of Belfast, a meets a pretty young maid (who has a black velvet band). He gets charmed and they walk for a bit before she nicks a pocketwatch from a passing gentleman and gives it to the lad. Next he’s in court for the theft of the pocketwatch, and ends up being sent to Australia on a prison ship. Sometimes, the young maid gets sent as well. The end of the song tells the moral: don’t get too taken by those young maids, beware before they get you drunk and doing stupid things. It’s more of a light warning or a fun tale then a sad song. Does that all make sense?

Jesus Luke could fair raise the roof good on ye lad 😀

I remember the evening when Luke died (but he had been seriously ill for some time before that) I had just arrived home with my new car and was all excited but then they said on the radio that Luke Kelly had died and were playing his songs and talking about him on the radio for the rest of the night. So every time I hear Luke it makes me think about that evening and that car - a mint condition 1979 Fiat 128 3p with only 20,000 miles on the clock (for the car guys who might want to know)

Just f***ING awesome

Love to hear about Ireland where my dad’s ancestors came from!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

He passed before I was born, but has been the soundtrack to my life. Miss them all dearly.

I grew up hearing this song. Always loved it. Never knew what it was about till I was older. Great rendition, such passion, you don’t get that from the pop icons!

I was at a Music gig last night and the Irish folk duo played this. It took me back to my childhood when my dad used to play this back in the day. Pure memory and Raw emotion for me. ♥️

I've always loved music, when I was in my early teens I listened to Nirvana, Metallica and the Dubliners. Then Black Sabbath and the Dubliners. Later in my teens I turned to Death and Black Metal, during that time my favorites were Mayhem, Marduk, Bathory, and The Dubliners. When I finally got over that I found early american blues, so I listened to Robert Johnson, Son House etc, and The Dubliners. Gradually that turned into old american folk, like the Carter Family, Roscoe Holcomb, Dock Boggs etc. During this time I also listened to the Dubliners. I also listened to old Country like early Johnny Cash, Roy Acuff and also the Dubliners. Now 38 years old with life long passion for music Ive found beauty and quality in almost every genre, from peruvian mountain folkmusic to russian Hardbass. Imho the original Dubliners was the greatest band to ever exist. I continuously keep finding new layers of quality and passion in their music. 5 people, each one in a million somehow got together. So grateful. Thank you

As an Irish descendant, I can't in words express the pride I hold for my heritage, and the many hardships my ancestors faced to traverse across the pond, to find a better life, only to discover false promises, Typhius, and sparse, barren land. I'd call Luke and the gang the very embodiment of Irish-hardiness and endurance throughout. R I P to these restless paddies, rovers, and rogues who sang their souls out for the world to hear, be it in jest, dread, or a bottle full of mountain dew, they danced the Ragman til they dropped; a life well lived.
