GUEST, Malcolm Douglas Origins: Erin Go Bragh (36) RE: Erin Go Bragh origins 20 Mar 05


Campbell's piece is no relation.

Since the original scenario becomes largely meaningless outside Scotland, it wouldn't be too surprising if an Irish variant were to become reduced to a simple "we beat up a rozzer" story, though the feat is rather less impressive if the man is outnumbered. I've been assuming that Robbie's song is a form of the Scottish song (because that is what he said it was) and I still think it likely; but we won't be able to tell for sure without some useful information (what recording? what museum?) which as yet we don't have.
