@thelaughingboy what do u mean? every one know’s bob dylan is a thief, but so wot !!
For anyone who thinks that Dylan stole this tune from the Clancy Brothers, this is a quote from Liam himself: “I met the young Dylan on 4th St. in the Village one morning as I was rushing to rehearsal ‘Hey Liam, hey man. I wrote a song to the tune of Brennan on the Moor last night. Wanta hear it man?, only 15 verses man, wanna hear it’.”- Liam Clancy. So Dylan told Liam about it. So it’s more of a tribute really.
@Chuckyarla search Clancy Brothers-Regis and Kathy Lee 3/17/95
@Chuckyarla Bob Dylan and the Clancy’s were good friends both being part of the folk revivals in their respective countries. They were well aware he took this tune from them, in fact there used to be a video on youtube of the Clancy’s Singing Ramblin Gamblin Willie
Bosulvenowl6 is also absolutly right in the fact that it is a note for note theft of “Brennen on the Moor”. I am sure Mr. Zimmerman would agree
The melody is from Ireland.
From a song called:
“Brennan On The Moor”
Bob got this melody from the Clancy brothers, the Clancy’s came from Ireland
Bob Dylan could sing a toilet paper commercial and it would be his own. Best song writer in the US and he is followed closely by Neil Young.
Always been a favorite of mine. When I was high school (15 years ago) I played this song in music class for an assignment explaining song structures verse/melody/etc. Everyone though it was lame and made fun of me, except for the two musicians in the class. Time has shown who the REAL losers were…
New Orleans, That’s a myth like Atlantis. As if the most powerful country would leave a famous city to rot.
i love this song. so meledious.
This is the first time I have heard this song & I totally agree with hilojack1. Clever witty lyrics & another unforgetable tune by Dylan. This man never ceases to amaze me.
You’re absolutely right Nick! This is truly a Bob Dylan gem. Thank you Mr. Zimmerman! His artistic portrayal of America is breathless!
I’ll give you a hint: Willie O’Connelly is Bob Dylan!
He Supported all his children, and all their mothers too
What a classic, hard to find Dylan song! Thanks for posting…
bob wrote this song to the air of brenan on the moore
ride Willie ride, roll Willie roll.
In my opinion, “The Loser” by The Grateful Dead is the all time best gambling song.
Very cool video.I will vote for it!
Wives would keep their husbands’ home when Willie came to town.
Willie’s cards fell on the floor they were Aces backed with Eights. The deadman’s hand.
he did a great tribute to The Clancy Brothers and Brennan on the Moor!
Roll Bobby Roll
roll willie roll
My favorite song ever.
