amazing tune :D

[damodame1]

I've never understood why this song is always sung in an Irish accent. I thought it was an Aussie folk song. Although it does sound good in the Irish accent.

[PETERZEEGS]

@bobsta33 you sound like a real Einstein

[solomonoftm]

@solomonoftm so why does it say "ill go and look for gold, theres plenty there for diggin " tool ;)

[WeedStar94]

@solomonoftm learn your history before you start throwing comments about you thick fuckin cunt

[CrawdaddyJoe]

@solomonoftm Actually, this one's about voluntarily emigration. The song is from the perspective of a navvy going to Australia.

[peterdcarter1]

@solomonoftm It's about navvies going to work in Australia. Where they were employed by the British Empire. They were not forced. It's fashionable for you American's who have drunk a pint of porter to once to enjoy the cache of the the Irish victim, but if you used your ears and the brain in that thick skull you have you may hear the truth. But I guess that just would not fit in with your world view would it.

@peterdcarter1 it is about a man who attacked his boss and so was deported. common sentence for irish people who commited crime.

[peterdcarter1]
