They don't come like that anymore.  brilliant voice.

When you discover Luke Kelly at age 50 and realize you've lived your entire life incorrectly.

Luke makes me proud to be Irish...  

Ah, Luke, we still miss you, but you will alway's be with us. You were the Best.

A legend , im proud to be Irish..

Lyrics : I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm going to make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town

A Kurdish boy from Turkey listen this song. Music is universal doesnt matter who u r or where u from..

My Dad's lot are from Ireland, He was brought up in Salford. Why can no one identify with a this song just because they are not from Salford. If it registers then it is relevant regardless of where you are from. Any way Luke Kelly could've sang the phone book and people would've loved it.

i used to sing this when i was homeless, (and Drunk), i regret nothing, kept me warm haha

great live version better than the recorded version-probably the best singer in folk history

He worked with my Dad in Jacobs Biscuits in Bishop Street back in the day, but had to leave when the The Dubliners took off..

what a singer ,would love to have seen him live RIP luke kelly, I must have listened to this over 300 times gets better every time

Luke Kelly was one of the finest irish folk singer in Ireland. Rest In Peace

That line "I dreamed a dream by the old Canal". From the most cynical to the most jolly I feel like almost anyone can relate to that line with a look of regret, nostalgia, or longing. Only Luke Kelly could make such a line be filled with the essence of being a human.

the way Luke lets the crowd know whos in charge but at the same way brings them in brilliant.
