Traditional Irish song about a young man that takes a new bride. To give her the good things in life he takes to robbing the rich on the highway in the 18th century. Eventually he is caught and tried.
That was pretty damn fantastic. Your decision to play and sing with such gusto underscores one of the things I find fascinating about the song—the sense that the narrator, despite the crimes he recounts, might not be filled with regret. There's a sense of dark glee underlying the song, which I think you evoke nicely.
Wonderful ... !!

Awesome video. Nicely done, both Andrew and videographer - Kirk. How do you have that instrument tuned Andrew?
