Just seen this lads, the basic story of the song is a couple meeting and getting married to start a life together, then Willie goes off to fight for ireland, and is eventually killed in battle, the best thing about irish music in my opinion is the instruments and the stories told, songs are nothing without a story behind it and irish music has 1000s of songs portraying the hardships, and struggles people had to go through for one reason or another. Thanks for the review I really enjoyed it.

Listen to Margo's version both different but lovely,
For what this song is about, you should try Suzy Ryan or the O'Neill Sisters
No clue as to the background, do some research guys, thanks for the effort all the same
