Good version of a great song, Ruckernucker you are correct, it was about the second Earl of Gadolfins horse, unbeatable when it raced in Ireland. The song is a lament by a farm labourer toiling for a wealthy land owner and dreaming of home.
@daregularperson I just recorded this song, and I had never made that connection before! Thanks for the enlightenment! Come check mine out if you like. My friend Eric plays a mean mandolin!
thanks a lot!!

Mostly I was stuck by the african american person who is the only logical "singer"
the story is a blues one about perhaps the only event /hope/ dream the singer ever had of achieving FREEDOM yes in caps.

Hey gkartsonakis, nice cover!
I was reading an article that related this song to "Happy Christmas" by John Lennon. Have a listen here on Youtube, you might be surprise!!!!
