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 :D

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.

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

Just the first reply !!
If Ranch could waken up/sober up and confirm yay or nay that might help 😉😃
In the meantime ill say Fishermans Blues to avoid ridicule 🙊
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.
