Song Lyrics

[ranch]

Trying to find the name of a song that I heard in a video clip from a friend at a pub, and it has my head wrecked. It contains the line "like a burning lump of coal" .. I think. And the prions line finishes with the word 'sleeper/sleepers' or something similar. It's pretty hard to make out the other lyrics but its being played by a gutsiest and I've definitely heard it before over the years. Any help appreciated

Next to impossible to decipher your post but the middle verse of Fisherman's Blues has the lines "...the beating of the sleepers, the burning of the coal".

Done live a lot with just the guitar, vocal and a fiddle. Phenomenal song.

Has Fisherman's Blues been mentioned yet? If not, I think it might be that.
You're Welcome.

I heard a class song today  but can't find out who it's by. It goes, "I wish I was a fishmonger, bumbling on the bees"
Can anyone help??

It's taken from a Mayo song... far away from the Sam Maguire and its bitter memories..

I enjoyed this thread

Could he confirm if the singer was a Mick Jagger lookalike singing with raspy voice in a Galway pub. That could help narrow it down.
