Mudcat's comment on the lyrics of this song (from the Planxty album "Well below the Valley") surely misunderstands the song. The singer jilts his true love to marry "the lassie with the land": in the light of the last verse, the lassie with the land must be none other than the Queen (Victoria) -- in other words he has joined the British army and is bitterly regretting it.
