As others have said, this is a very old traditional Irish song (16/1700's, I think?). I first became familiar with it when Thin Lizzy did their version in the early 1970's and still love that version. They appeared to rejig the lyrics, presumably to make it fit with the usual duration time for singles at that time of around 3 minutes. Colm McGuinness' version is the longer traditional lyrics and I love that as well.

Never heard Metallica's till recently, more familiar with the older Thin Lizzy version and traditional performances. Great reaction to this Amazing version of a very old story song. My family is split between Crimson Tide, Volunteers and Tigers. My older cousin (Dad's side)played for Alabama under Bear Bryant (so fierce rivalry but politely southern) I just say ROLL TIDE !

It’s an old Irish folk song so the many takes on it are going to be way different to the original. Dubliners, phil lynot with thin lizzy, Metallica are the more recent styles. (Last 30 odd years.) I grew up with thin lizzy and loved it. This is a good pop rendition and for all voice is amazing.

It is a traditional song, but Voiceplay did clearly use Metallica's lyrics. Metallica's lyrics only differ from Thin Lizzy's in the final stanza, but I like the "burn it down" from the Thin Lizzys version. Dubliners, Pogues, and most traditional singers have several more verses and the protagonist of the song doesn't actually get a shot off which very much seems like the difference between Rock and Traditional versions. EDIT: Also, does anyone know why Thin Lizzy decided to change the rhyming name of Jenny to Molly?
