Pete Seeger made an American recording of "Kevin Barry" about 1960 with that chorus..."Shoot me like an Irish soldier..." Met a cousin of Barry's aboard a ship once (I think MANY claim to be) who said she thought that was a later invention...she did not know the bit about the dog. Have lost the Seeger album that contained this song and searched for years for a replacement. Would appreciate if anyone knows the name of the album and where it might be found.
