I discovered this song as an epic-metal ("Manowar"-like) cover made by the band "The Legendary Nice Boys" (featured in the german punk-hardcore compilation album "Hamburg '88"). Very good !

@psychedelicfreakout1 It was written by Eric Bogle! It is specifically about the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. He seemingly doesn't specify which side the dead son was on because it is about the futility of all the deaths rather than a support of any of the sides.

When I hear words that end with "-ism" "-archy" or "ocracy" I feel fear. Symbols and Ideologies are ways to divide "us" from "them" and the usual outcome is brutal slaughter.
I want to make my own symbols to represent my own ideas. I want my own culture, my own truth, my own God, my own hope. And I hope you find your own.
Because all of theirs have failed, again and again.

This song was played by a Polish folk-punk band Swiat Czarownic back in the 1990s

it is not an old Irish folksong, Eric is still alive and well, i'm glad to have made you aware of this as i dont understand people who argue vehemently yet offer no other answer.
