@naughton101 Billy is a slang term for the English. "God is in his heaven and Billy is down by the bay" most likely means the English are back on the shore instead of in the heart of Ireland. Note there is also a part in the song where he mentions "Lazy drunken bastards singing Billy in the bowel".
great song that was his message

When I was 6 my dad had a Pogue's CD and he played it in the car whenever we went on trips.
I learned the words by ear,
and he had to tell me to not sing this song.
That still didn't stop me singing it to my grandparents one christmas.

I thought this was the best song in the world when I was little, before I even knew how to multiply. LOL, This is so great.

Great song. Reminds me of my days in Galway in the Cellar bar in late 70s early 80s with my mate Donal.
