'The Silver Tassie was labeled a tragicomedy based on the cruel horrors of World War I. It showed the price which the common people have to pay for the stupidities of war..' This was said about Sean O'Casey's great play and unfortunately Scottish tenors/baritones sing the song in a clipped martial manner. I don't know where the tune that was used comes from, nor the words '.. Gae bring tae me a pint o' wine'. The original wods are 'Go fetch to me a pint o' wine. Previous to the Nigel Denver recording in the mid sixties, I only heard the 'martial' tune. Maybe someone has some more info on the non Musical museum version?
