Very beautyfull song of Irish. About love together with English. About love to London. About love to whole Britains islands, but most love to tehir mountains- from hearts of Irish- I told. I think so love together with English is more true than history of Wars with English. Myna thanks for this boutifull music. I was learned many about British history in this song- more than history education books.

In one verse it mentions the king of England, however in 1890 when this is written, wasn’t England under queen Victoria?

[@emmelineburdett8537]

Yes, but this song might be set before 1890 - I've heard another version, which doesn't mention buses at all, and for some reason this song always makes me think of Fanny Burney (an Eighteenth century English novelist).

[@donaldbellomy1651]

At least that verse was written in 1903 after King Edward VII's official visit to Ireland

MIDI bagpipes?

A perfect song for winding up the Irish

[@dannyboy5517]

Completely wrong This is a tongue in cheek song written by Percy French a writer of many parody songs The Irish sense of humour obviously lost on you

[@katperson7332]

@@dannyboy5517 I love the songs of Percy French. The lyrics to most of them are very clever and also poignant. For some reason I compare them to the clever and witty lyrics of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. There’s something about that era, which produced such talent.
