McCafferty

"McCafferty" is an Irish ballad which originated as a street-ballad about Patrick McCaffrey, executed in 1862 for the killing of two of his officers. It is particularly popular in Ireland, where McCaffrey came from, and was recorded by The Dubliners. In the British army it was believed that to sing the song was a chargeable offence, but that is legend.The song is set to the traditional Irish tune "Cailín Óg a Stór", which is the same melody used for "The Croppy Boy". more »
