Guitar: The Boys of Wexford

"The Boys of Wexford" is a famous Irish ballad commemorating the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The ballad lyrics were composed by Patrick Joseph McCall with music by Arthur Warren Darley, who also composed other Wexford ballads "Boolavogue", "Kelly the Boy from Killanne".
The tune is as near as damn-it the same as the tune to "The Lowlands of Holland".
