The Irish national anthem? I can get you that easy enough, an he doesn't come through with sufficient rapidity.
I don't know, but I don't think so. I'd never heard it before. The chorus (please keep the previous sentence in mind if I quote it inaccurately) was more or less—
So far from home and every man an enemy So far from home and little chance of leave So far from home, no pretty wife to comfort me Pity us poor soldiers—we've cause enough to grieve
—and sounded melodically like a partial inversion of "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye." It was somber and ghostly and associated with a Morris dance whose name I don't remember. He was trying to inveigle me into joining his company.
