This is not an Irish song its English
-
good wee sang its my life
-
correct,sang this song for a traveller in a dundee boozer.he laughed said it wasnt about travellers as the verse about bye laws really related to english romanies.dirty old town is written about salford,outside manchester.scottish travellers arent irish either although there are irish travellers up there.the scottish travellers are called "summer walkers" and were big into pearl fishing in rivers etc.irish travellers are also renowned exponents of road bowling and kept it going in west limerick.

I am a romany gypsy and have to say this song is not irish at all. It was written by Ewan MacColl in 1964,and MacColl was born in Broughton, Salford, Lancashire to Scottish parents, he also wrote Dirty Old Town another song that is mistaken by people as being irish. Both are not irish and refer to the scots cant and romany tongue. Irish pavee are not gypsies they are irsh pavee

@50077756 indeed i think you comments are based on ignorance...im a traveler and we pay our taxes, you will find that most tax evaders are whit collar workers, perhaps if you had a tad more education you would be able to converse with the commentators on here , sad for you .
