The Minstrel Boy
Last updated: 11.10.23
This was learned by every British schoolchild of my generation perhaps somewhat surprisingly as it was a battle song written by Thomas Moore in the tremendous year of 1798. I sing it mostly for myself and perform it only rarely.
The Minstrel Boy can be found in 100 Irish Ballads Volume 1.
