Yeah, it's funny to hear an old English song played by a band who normally sing about the IRA

its about Jack Hall, a chimneysweep hung in London in 1707

killian browne

i love the banjo playing but i prefer the dubliners version with ronnie drew singing, his voice suits the song much better

@dilloss I don't see that he had a great voice. Sings like he's got something large stuck up his nose
