Guest, can you give us more information about the lyrics you posted? This seems to be from the point of view of an Irish soldier fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
How many songs are we talking about in this thread? I think it's good we keep them all here - but if we can sort them out, we may have some real treasures. Tunefinder lists several tunes with "Salamanca" in the title. "The Heroes of Salamanca" and "The Salamanca" and "Salamanca Reel" all seem to be the same tune. For that matter, "Salamanca Hornpipe" seems to be the same tune at a different tempo.
I'm either lost, or dreadfully confused - one of the two.
