Wow thats a lot of words

The metamorphosis is complete. Colm is officially a reincarnated medieval Seanchaí!!

Can’t wait to master this song to sing around the campfire at my next LARP event!

Collection of Irish Song Lyrics Humors of Whiskey (the) Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out. Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen You'll know it I think if you take a big drink With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh what botheration, no dose in the nation Can give consolation like poteen me boys. No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic Or bodies pathetic can give such a bloom As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers Ever gave their own bowers such a darling perfume And this liquid so rare if you willingly share To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys While a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle Was filling my mouth with a notion of pap When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap On the floor I lay crawlin' and screaming and bawling 'Til me mother and father were called to the fore All sobbing and sighing they feared I was dying But soon found I only was crying for more. So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh lord how they'd chuckle if babes in their truckle They only could suckle on poteen me boys Through my youthful aggression, through times of depression My childhood's impression still clung to my mind And at school or at college the basis of knowledge I never could gulp 'til with whiskey combined And as older I'm growing times ever bestowin' On Erin's potation, a flavor so fine And how ere they may lecture on jove and his nectar Itself is the only true liquid divine So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh lord, 'tis the right thing for courting and fighting There's nowt so exciting as poteen me boys. Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam What'll make the lame walk, what will make the dumb talk, The elixir of life and philospher's stone And what helped Mr. Brunnell to build the Thames Tunnel Wasn't it poteen from ould Inisowen So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder Weren't made from the plunder of poteen me boys. You maidens pathetic, with lovers athletic For liquid cosmetic, you can't beat the drop With a glow to your cheek, it will make your heart leap It'll quiet a stallion or cure an old cob At the mouth you would drool, be reduced to a fool You'd kick up your heels and you'd peel to the buff Then 'tis he'd be pathetic while you'd be athletic If only you'd take a few drops of the stuff So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys For there's nothing like whiskey to make maidens frisky It soon separates all the men from the boys.

I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS! Ever since the short version I have been wanting the full one! Christmas has come early!

For what it’s worth you and your singing 100% inspired a bard I play in D&D, and I can say with full confidence he has turned into one of my most well written characters. Thanks for al the work you put into this stuff!!

This kinda singing as a whiskey ad would make sales skyrocket imo

I’ve just been listening all week to hozier and Colm’s 1 Minute blips of whiskey. So imagine my Sunday morning bloss when seeing he did a full rendition. Absolutely Phenomenal.

I don't drink alcohol, but I can't get enough of this song! Love it

I’ve loved this song since I was an extremely wee lassie, and only recently rediscovered it because of your first upload of the song…which was flawlessly spectacular. Full version now? Sign me up!! This is gonna be unparalleled!! Edit: Better than I could have possibly imagined.

The bard himself can hit the highs of the Misty mountains, and the lows of Moria. I tip my hat to you, Sir Colm McGuinness.

The smile on my face for this full version with the Celtic/Irish accents is to be joyful about. Thank you my good sir.

354 good folks here on Sunday 14 November 2021, Colm's 28th birthday, for the premiere of "The Humours of Whiskey" (full version). Savannah & Colm are in Brighton at a hotel with "Nougat" the hotel cat! Their Air BnB ghosted them and they had to find a hotel after a full day of travelling. A most stressful day. *Happy Birthday.* Generous viewers donated a total of 421.99 to make this day even more special.

Love this! Would love to hear your rendition of “Ashes” and/or “Oak & Ash & Thorn” too.

we seem to have lost these old songs that are sung with pride and tell a story about history. and their just plain fun to listen too. and your accent just makes them better.

Makes me wish my city had an Irish pub with a singer of your caliber...they don't have music past a broken juke box...it's rather sad that everyone can't enjoy music this amazing when drinking

It's official. This song, as sung by Colm, will play at my celebration of life someday.

For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Has to be one of the best lines ever writen.

This man delivers! Not only full version, but much better pacing.

I don't know what it is about Colm singing Irish tunes but it's always so special... Is it pride or joy to be Irish? Mayhaps it's the instruments, composition, lyrics of the Emerald Isle? OR MAYBE...it's the sheer, raw, epic power of knowing he has Skellig Gift store literally putting the clothes on his back?? #IrishGifts

I have to say that the auto generated closed captions try so Very hard that they simply had to take a rest for a little while in the middle to make it through the whole thing. You have such a lovely voice, Colm! And the drive is so...mmm! So good!

Singing along on my drive to and from work I now have around 80% memorized from hearing this my first time a few months ago. Goa get it down then get some of my fellows to sing it at the bar.

Now I need to hear Colm cover "Warrior" by The Black Piper. Great job thank you for sharing 👍

Oh how I love the Irish! I’ll be humming this all day!❤️

The talent this guy has tho! He amazes me everytime he realeses something😍

Oh... this is absolutely wonderful to hear Colm do a full cover of the Humours of Whiskey.

I imagine peaky blinders, i imagine old ireland and traveling folk, i imagine brawls in birmingham and a simpler time... Very well executed #respect

Just cracked open a bottle of Connemara to drink while listening to this song. Something about it makes the stuff taste utterly divine.

Colm, with a host of amazing performances that you have, I have to say that this ties for first place as my favorite, alongside "I'm Still Here". More than once, I have spent an entire work day just listening to these two songs over and over. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. You bring joy and excitement.

Really looking forward to this. The version you released earlier this year is brilliant!

A fine addition to every Irish wedding I've been to😘❤️

Colm, this is absolutely stunning. I love this so much! Thank you so much for all the songs you’ve done thus far💛

Am i the only one who wishes Colm would put the lyrics or the comments or captions? I need to sing along to all these songs and most times I've never heard them before

Such a well done rendition. Listened to this song a dozen times at this point. Thank you for this!

1.2 million views. 20 thousand of them from me alone.

Great job Colm! I appreciate the minimal instrumentation, letting us enjoy the beaut of a voice that you have. Keep being awesome!

My life is now complete. Shame I have no whiskey with me now. Oh well, the beer will do.

Happy Birthday Colm! Here's to many many more to come!🍺 Brilliant job on this song! Absolutely loved it! Well done!🌹

I love this song! We're so lucky you did a full version!

The first time i ever heard this song was your abrievated cover. I was instantly covered in goose bumps. The twang and tenor your voice lends to this beautiful folk music makes it so uniquely yours, yet absolutely representative of the culture and times the music comes from. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.

The full version gives me goosebumps! Once again, you impress me Sir Colm McGuinness!

I really love the way this climbs through the song! Puts as much fire in you as whiskey

There we go! Man did it again. I love Irish/Scottish folk beyond words. Your voice in this one is what I imagine medieval singers sounded like. Nailed it!

Yes yes yes! Even better than I had hoped! Another absolutely amazing performance 👏 🙌 ❤ 😍

I’m so excited for this one! I love the shorty version you have and I wished it was longer :)

Thank you for just making me smile, your singing always brightens my day. Especially right now dealing with a somewhat poorly horse and hoping to have found a solution. Thank you Colm for all your hard work love.

Thank you so much for bringing back what I grew up it puts a smile on my face when I hear your music after work and again thank you!!

Never heard this song before, but oh boy did I enjoy this! The lyrics made me laugh and the beat made me dance. Love your music so much!

This is absolutely fantastic, fair play to ya Colm. I remember reading the full version of this song and wondered what it would sound like in its entirety. This is it.

I have been looking forward to this since I knew you were planning on doing this, and this just made my already good day that much better!!!

i've been listening to this song on repeat every since i heard your short version, i have truly been blessed this day

YESSSSSS omg. This has always been one of my favourite videos of Colm's, so the full version is so exciting. Incredible, as always!! :) :)

I have been waiting for this full version for a looong time. And mate you hit those notes with such beauty!!! 🤓

I'm so happy that you actually did a full cover of this.

This is absolutely magic... And makes the whisky go down to fast and perfect!

Aww I'm SO glad you did a full version!

The camera was having trouble containing the man's radiance

Hey Colm, I truly love your voice 💜💜 !! Congratulations for all the music you make 🎉🎉

I can feel my ancestors dancing with this song, so beautiful and full of pride. Thank you

And here I was, thinking myself already in love with Celtic music.

This is the song that’s gonna get me through this winter. Thank you sir

It's simply an ode to whiskey, but done in a way that makes me think of kissing my wife and children and taking to the mountains in rebellion. In other words... fantastic.

I have listened to this on repeat for God knows how long. I am in LOVE with this. Great job 😊

your voice is so clear and strong, gorgeous to listen to overall and thank you for sharing!

YEESSS

I've been waiting for this for so long!!! Ty Colm! I can't wait!

I'm so glad you finally did the full version of this song! Excellent work!

Just beautiful. I can't stop listening to this on repeat thank you!! Absolutely incredible, this makes me wanna sing and drink with my best mates.

Toss a coin to our marvelous Colm. Love your pure voice, reminds me of medieval Celtic bard. Keep it up fam.🤙 Peace ✌️

Amazing rendition of this song! Could we get the lyrics to this version, though? Keep on rocking you absolute beaut!

Wonderful! I really have no words! Now I can hear my favourite full version on my way to work, thanks! Checking out the jumpers!

This song is pure balm for the mind and soul. I have now listened to it for around 8 hours while studying and cant get enough. xD

Well worth the wait! Perfectly done! I'll raise a glass of whiskey for this one for sure.

This was awesome , going to slowly copy the lyrics, memorize them for St Patricks day, thank you, this was amazing.

The sheer joy at hearing this is nigh on indescribable. Thank you for such a delightful rendition!

May the Lord bless all of your days for sharing this beauty with us.

As a minor with parents who don't drink, I have a question. Is whiskey as good as this song makes it seem. Because every time I listen to this, I find myself reaching for a small glass bottle that isn't there, then getting sad because I miss something I've never known. Congrats to you, Colm, and to whoever wrote this, for thoroughly confluzzling me.

Perfect, looking forward to the party and the awesome premiere chat 😁

Yay! We’ve waited months for the full version. Thank you!

I daresay yours is the best version out there! Thank you for making a full version of this song! :D Merry Christmas to you and yours!

It's a rare thing when I pump my headphones right up just for the vocals, but this was worth it. This is going to be a new sound test and I need a 24 bit FLAC of it right now.

I need someone to post the full lyrics for this so I can memorize it and play my guitar to it for my d&d table.

Thank you for marvelous singing!!!

My new favorite Colm McGuinness performance. An outstanding ode to Poitin

I want this song to be played at my funeral as everyone drinks cask strength and a Uber home

Does anyone have the full lyrics?!?!?! I'm LOVING the full version!

Best version I have ever heard. Keep it up Colm, your covers are sick!!!

I love this song, great rendition.

For those that want to read as they sing along, here are the lyrics. If Colm can pin this or add to the description, I'm sure people would appreciate it. Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out. Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen You'll know it I think if you take a big drink With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh what botheration, no dose in the nation Can give consolation like poteen me boys.

A ballad of truth!

These Irish folk songs are so fun to listen to!

This is just pure music! I love it

Я только второй день как узнала о Вашем существовании. Как музыкант пребываю в невероятном шоке и восхищении, какой невероятный диапазон, владение голосом! Брависсимо, восторг!!!

I love this one! Also, showed your music to my mom a couple days ago and she loves it XD Had dinner last night and listened to your entire sea shanty album that she put on while we ate, her favorite is hoist the colors and Santiana. My personal favorite is fish in the sea and your original the last length C:

Yes another favorite hits the dust! Colm keeps the amazing songs coming and each is better.

The more I listen, the more I love it.

Whiskey literally translates to "Water of Life" in Ancient Irish!☘️🙃☘️

Not sure how anyone is going to take this, but when I tapped the link and Colm's voice rang through the phone speaker, one of my hens hopped up beside me to listen. 🤣

Can’t believe I missed this, been wishing for it for ages. Made my day to see it listed and crank it loud.

Nothing better than a large home measure of a 12 year Bowmore Whisky and this song on a Sunday evening.
