This is amazing! I grew up listening to this, it looks amazing!!!

The funny thing is that Tom was a Pioneer. He never touched an alcoholic drink. Rest Easy, Mr. Lenihan.

For anyone finding this comment, the pub is still in business today. Its called the "Quilty tavern" and it's a 30 minute jaunt from the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher along the Wild Atlantic Way. You know, should you be so inclined to stop in for a glass on your way through.

Big up to every Irish man who ever helped 'build the Thames Tunnel'. Testament to Mr. Brunel, and all those Irish labourers, that it is still in good working order in the 21st century

I had a cassette tape of Tom singing this song in the early 70's , and I played it until the tape broke , all I have to do is listen to this and I'm back 50 years

Love this song

Seeing people from the past, makes me so sad. I hope they all lived good lives.

Maybe theyre singing songs in an Irish version of heaven with their mates

I'm a Lenehan from Boston. We believe my great-grandfather possibly emigrated from County Clare. Tom Lenihan resembles my grandfather & his brothers in a way so I've wondered ever since I came across this clip if Tom may be a distant relative of ours. Immigrants often had their last names altered upon coming to America so it could be the case!

I love how he's singing about Whisky and Poteen while they're only showing people pouring porter

​@@ryamcablethat's right you tell that turd what's up

What a good voice.

"the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrow and raising your joys!" :) :(

Pure poetry....much proud Irishman

Very cool to see this colorized! What a voice Tom had. In the first verse, however, I believe the lyrics to be "Would you know the true physick to bother phthitic, and pitch..." "Phthisis" is an old term for tuberculosis.

Music that makes my Heart Dream...❤❤❤ Music is life! 🥰

Folk Revival Project, I love you!

I have watched the black and white version a dozen times, and love that i can share this instead. I really enjoy singing this and just have to learn the tune too now. :) Thank you for making this. I'm teetotal as well and enjoy the heckle: "why don't you drink it yourself!" Keeps things interesting 😅

Love this song & this clip. Seeing him enjoying singing it makes it that much better. My copy of 'The Mount Callen Garland' arrived in the mail the same day you posted this!

i listen to this so often! i love it!

That’s beautiful

God bless such characters

Love the song but can't stop thinking that for a song about whiskey, it looks like everyone is having a Guinness in this video. 🙂

That guy in the background “why don’t you drink it yourself.” 😂

this is MARVELOUS

Such a good tune!!

Beautiful

I only wish I had been there to hear it in person!

That was beautiful

A masterpiece

Hozier got me started on this❤ Love this

Then way they used to pour guinnes the all the foam out of the tap. Great song.

I wish I could drink a nice glass of whatever they're having

0:52 well we know who had a rough day

Man in the background saying "Why don't you drink it yourself" :p

Does craythur in this context mean whiskey or liquor? It seems to be used in the same way in Finnegan's Wake.

Whiskey in Irish is ‘uisce bheatha’ Water of Life Craythur is a play on Creature, the root of which is Create as in Creation itself, or God the Creator… since whiskey is called Craythur it could be assumed that the ancient Irish viewed Uisce Bheatha as a sort of Divine Creation 🤓🌾

I think it's closer to the Middle English pronunciation. If you listen to reconstructed Shakespearian accents, they will probably pronounce it something like that!

Yes, Tom (the man singing in the video) never drank a drop of liquor or beer in his life….. it was always a joke for those who knew him to try and get him to take a drink. Amazingly Tom never gave in. A true man of character.

Tom Lenhian, the man singing the song, was actually a teetotaller, he never drank a drop of alcohol in his life!

That's not whisky. It's beer or cider. Whisky won't have a head of foam. Also, why did those bartends learn to poor so poorly?
