I learnt this song in music class, at an English school in Southern Spain, owned by a French-American couple, from an Irish redhead hippie music teacher named Mr. Mooney

Originally seen as humorous, the song today is considered a powerful anti-war song. Except for an initial framing stanza, the song is a monologue by an Irish woman who meets her former lover on the road to Athy, which is located in County Kildare, Ireland. After their illegitimate child was born, the lover ran away and became a soldier. He was badly disfigured, losing his legs, his arms, his eyes and, in some versions, his nose, in fighting on the island of "Sulloon", or Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), and will have to be put in (or, in some versions, with) a bowl to beg. In spite of all this, the woman says, she is happy to see him and will keep him on as her beau. Modern versions often end with an anti-war affirmation.The song has often been supposed to be an anti-recruiting song and to have been written in Ireland in the late 18th or early 19th century, at the time of or in response to the Kandyan Wars, which were fought in Sri Lanka between 1795 and 1818. (Obviously didn’t work because Ireland made a third of the British army at this time)

Came here from “Cruel Wars”, and now this reminds me of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again”.

This is the “Saints Go Marching In” for us Americans lol. I’ve never heard this version.

A great song, even a comical one. Never heard it before. But surely will be amongst my favourites henceforth.

Took a little while for me to realize America totally ripped off the instrumental for Jhonny comes marching home

This song paints a very specific picture in my mind: me and 6 other people marching up a lush green hill on a misty grey evening dressed in 17th century military garb.
