On a pedantic note I think that The Green Fields of France is a Scottish song.

Isn't "Will ye go lassie go?" Scottish as well?

Yes, the Furey's covered it but I always think that no one can perform a song as well as the person who composed it. (with the exception of any song Phil Coulter ever wrote)

It's a song Tommy Makem wrote about his wife and is one of his finest songs....
