Ahem... While "Gallowglass" was a foreign warrior (literally), a "Bonnought" was a native professional warrior.

I find this song bloody terrible - a "german style march" thing about long-dead Irish heroes. The ONE thing it has going for it is that it is about a battle that was WON. There are SCORES of Irish "rebel songs" about battles that were not only fruitless, but pointless.
