Fergie Lyr Req: Recruiting Sergeant (33) RE: Lyr Req: Recruiting Sergeant 26 Mar 16


The confusion concerning the authorship of The Recruiting Sergeant may arise because Peader Kearney wrote an anti-recruiting song the title of which was Sergeant William Bailey. Kearney's nephew Dominic Behan was known to sing both of these songs and I suspect that somewhere along the line Kearney's name became mistakenly associated with The Recruiting Sergeant.
