This is a spoof on the Russian-Turkish conflict. Actually it had another 6 or seven verses but as Brendan said one time, it had to be trimmed down for the sake of Brevity with out losing the heart of the story. Resi In Peace Brendan,

Patrick Kavanagh wrote it as a poem. The Dubliners put it to the Music of a Marching song, "The Dawning of the Day" Of course, they slowed it down considerably. The Irish Army Number One Band plays it regularly on Parade.

Raglan Road is in the Ballsbridge area of Dublin, actually near the American Embassy.

The Tune is originally An Irish Army Marching Song "The Dawning of the Day" Patrick Kavanagh composed "Raglan Road" in honour od Dr. Hilda Moriarty who was a student in U.C.D.(University College Dublin). I believe at the time she was a "real head turner" buty as years went on....well physical Be...

The tune belonged to an Old Irish Marching Song, "The Dawning of the Day" it was played regularly in Croke Park by the Artane Boys Band and of course by the Irish Army Number One Band on State occassions. Of course, it was slowed down by the Dubliners when they sang and recorded it.

The Dubliners got together with Patrick Kavanagh ther poet shortly before he died and suggested giving an air to this poem that they would record. They came up with an old Irish Marching song "The Dawning of the Day". Of Course they slowed the march down and this was the result. Many other Artist...

If you type in the Jolson Story(Part1, Part2, Part 3 etc. You will see Scotty Beckett playing Jolson as a boy. Sweet Sixteen is not an Irish Song but The man composed it John Thornton, his parents came over on the boat during the Famine. Can you imagine how much he would make in royalties to-day....

Oswald was a Rebel from the South, this means that he hated Norhterners or Yankees as he would have called them. Furtermore he loathed Catholics. JFK was all of these.. A Catholic, Northerner and Yankee,. He definitely was the one who pulled the trigger.

True. The song was written by Tom Westendorf. He used the name Kathleen and "The Fields are fresh and Green" hence, the name became synonomous with Ireland and went on to become fanmous in it's own right. Elvis does a great job on it.
