Together with Good Ship Kangaroo my fav Planxty song, I prefer those lighthearted songs to the tearjerkers and bleeding heart ditties.I always thought beggars can't be choosers, but see, in Ireland, things are different... And I first thought he decapitated her, but since she still speaks afterward....She lost her maidenheadand now she's quite undone :0) Well.... :0)Come to think of it, she lets that tramp in, not because she has a good catholic heart, but because he's good looking, tss tsss tsss... That undercover king sounds like my oldest dwarf hamster, the local patriarch of the cage, who also left quite a number of maidens undone :) He probably never heard of the non proliferation treaty... :((

First heard these fellows and this song in 1986 driving up the Adirondack Northway in a blizzard. It was on aVermont Public Radio station and kept fading in and out but I loved it. Heard Planxty's name at the end and have been listening ever since!
