“The turf is coming home!” – Tipperary bog lover has given us our favourite version of ‘Three Lions’

Rory Cashin

Just when we thought we couldn’t hear this song even one more time…

This is all getting a bit much, isn’t it?

Did you know that ‘Three Lions’ jumped to the top of the Singles Chart? Because it did.

People are losing their minds a bit over the whole thing.

Earlier this week,  we reported on this group of England fans tricked into singing ‘Tiocfaidh Ár Lá’ instead of ‘Three Lions’, but already we think we might have found a version that is even better than that.

Here is Paddy Murphy from Roscrea in Country Tipperary, singing about the bog and his father-in-law, who is (as we’ve been reliably informed) “bog mad!”

There’s not much more to it than that, but the simplicity of it all is exactly why we love it so much! Okay now, everybody!

Paddy Feehans beaming
We’re all nearly dead
Bridge keeps on cleaning
2 forks in the shed

It’s coming home
It’s coming home
The turf is coming home…

Cheers to Enya Feehan for sending this our way. Got a story for JOE? Fill out our online form here.
