Its a Scottsh tune, its about the 9th Battalion Glasgow Highlanders heading off to France to fight in world war one, God Bless Them All , LEST WE FORGET !
@seamusdel , i kinda figured that it was a bit english due to the shilling reference....still the Irish group i've done a few small get-togethers with...we would always sing this song...so it reminds me of my heritage :) hense why i brought that up...thats also why i didn't call it an irish tune...i just said it was lovely tune :P still i'm glad you liked it :) thanks for commenting! :)

greetings from the emerald isle
glad you enjoyed paul brady
i;ll next direct you to a band that paul was a member of
in fact he replaced the man that sings this song
they are some of the finest trad/folk musicans on this island
look up little musgrave performed by planxty
a long tale of illicit love
hope you enjoy
