Friday night Youtubery

Great Irish song by a great American songwriter (!). Yeppers, this here be a song written by Steve Earle. A version of it by Irish singer Mundy and Irish musician Sharon Shannon (the accordion player in this video) was the #1 single in Ireland last year.

Would type more, but my keyboard is malfunctioning. It's covered by cat paws, complaining I am not being proper staff.
