For anyone who's interested, there is an old thread "RE: The Foggy Dew", begun in November of 1997, which provides some information on the words used in the version about the Easter Rebellion of 1916. This thread also contains the words to the lyrics of the song recorded by John McCormack in 1913.
I haven't masterd html yet, and can't find my cheat sheet or I'd have given you a little blue clicky thing. Can someone help on that?
Thanks,
Robby
