@Grouter12 you talk about jacobites...which some of my family died for...but the welsh/cornish/doric amongst others are the true britons...not the english culture trying to steal the name ;)
This is my first English song. I learnt it in my 2nd year kindergarden. My teacher played piano and sang this song. She told us " This is an English lullaby --- mother sings this song for her brave son who was killed in the war. He fought for his mother land. "
this was a song from the fist world war to encourage irishmen to fight for the british army... and ayeee, it is an irish song dick... but no rebel tune
It seems it is related to the politics as like religion all politics does is divide. The argument is whether the song was written by an Irishman or an Englishman. The truth is it was written ( the tune ) by a Scotsman.
The Cheiftans sing tihs version for all those asking.

I know very little about this conflict but I see why it's worth fighting for.
Long Live Ireland!
