Here's the Brady version. (I needed to refresh my blue clicky skills).

Funny, I thought the song had some association with the American Civil War (or whatever we're supposed to call it in politically correct terms), but I don't see any obvious internal evidence of this. Am I imperfectly remembering a rambling intro by PB? When I see the words written down it looks more like a plea for the Euro, disguised by geographical transposition.
