McCafferty

"McCafferty" is an Irish ballad which originated as a street-ballad about British Army Private Patrick McCaffrey, executed in 1862 for the "fragging" of two officers. It is particularly popular in Ireland, where Pvt. McCaffrey came from, and was recorded by The Dubliners. In the British Army it was allegedly a court martial offence to sing the song, but that is a legend.

The song is set to the traditional Irish tune "Cailín Óg a Stór", which is the same melody used for "The Croppy Boy". Provided by Wikipedia
