A great song! Amazed theres only one comment! I think its, obviously a sort of ode to a dead man, probably at his wake. The man (Jim Dwyer) is obviously an Irish immigrant or of Irish immigrant stock, the song mentioning Boston PA, a town with a famously large Irish immigrant community, and New York. He also seems to be a bit of a character, getting into fights and so on. Now I think the man has gone off to fight either in Ireland against the British or in the First World War (probably the first one). I can't explain why but the years around 1916 were turbulent times in Ireland what with the Easter Rising and so on - also I think this might be referenced in the line "made one last trip to the shores where his father's laid" - as his father probably died back in Ireland, the old country. This is given credence in the last few verses, perhaps Jim saying goodbye to a wife "my loves in amerikay", or friends - which I think is at the same time the narrator's farewell to his good friend Jim. Finally the "call of the rosary" its well known that Ireland is a strongly catholic country, so that might be further evidence. I could be totally wrong, but there you go! |
