Recorded by numerous Irish folk singers, the song's meaning is debated but may refer to the displacement of Irish farmers during Oliver Cromwell's reign, supported by references to Jacobite leader Patrick Sarsfield. The exact location of the Rocks of Bawn remains uncertain, with multiple potential sites identified but no definitive answer due to the song's age. Liam infuses "The Rocks of Bawn" with his unique style, offering an alternative melody that presents a fresh perspective on the song while leaving his own distinct impression.
