This song has alot of merit to it, if you know the background. Between 1652-1659, over 100,000 Irish were deported to Barbados and Virginia by the Protestant majority of England, resulting in over 18,000 deaths of men, women, and children. For more on the subject, pick up the hard to find book "To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland" by Sean O'Callaghan.
