Sir, I have been singing your song since first hearing O'Brien's take on it. I changed the arrangement a bit, and sing it regularly with my band. I love the lyrics, and the messages they deliver. I would hope that Irish Americans would carefully examine them, especially in the context of 20th Century racism, most especially the portion that deals with the irony of an Irish immigrant fighting to displace a people from their land. It has relevance for so many issues.
