For anyone interested but unaware of the context, the song is portraying the Napoleonic Wars, as seen through the eyes of an Irish mother whose son has joined the British Royal Navy, Napoleonic Frances most resolute enemy. The last lyric is really, “King of France,” changed here by Springsteen as, “King of America,” (though I don’t know why).
Bruce Springsteen is a genius. Spends a lot of time in Dublin. Sometimes drinks in the Long Hall and Whealans. He loves Ireland and we love him. What a fantastic person and a wonderful human being. What a treasure
Some of my ancestors are Irish and I can feel the Irishness in Bruce’s voice and soul. May all of us have a blessed holiday season and a peaceful New Year.
I grew up with the traditional version of this song so it would easy to criticize Springsteen’s version but he kept it true and honest. Over the 200 years since it’s been written artists are still evolving it and sadly kids are still dying on battlefields all over the world.
Brucie sure turned this song quite a bit more in a sombre direction. The original was almost whimsical. The guy is amazing. Hey, it's St. Paddy's Day 2022! Erin Go Bragh!
What a Fantastic performance and of course Artist Bruce is, I was Lucky enough to see two Concerts with Bruce and The Seeger Sessions Band here in London, Happiness times Ever at a Gig. ❤️😊♥️😊
Bruce you are an amazing artist and those of us that appreciate you for it are grateful and love all you do thank you brother hope to see you one more time
Simply Marvellous!!! One of the Best songs by this Very Great Artist! I remember every word! A sad touching poetry trying to move a dirty world !GREAT!!!
2:21 I almost cry at these lyrics.... 'Well I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind When I left my two fine legs behind But a big cannonball on the fifth of May Flow my two fine legs from the knees away' 'Ah Teddy me boy', the poor widow cried 'Yer two fine legs were yer mummy's pride Them old stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all Why didn't ye run for the big cannonball?' Sometimes, there's nothing that you do to stop the bad things from happening. Sometimes, you come to grips with it....but other people can't and they blame your for their lack of understanding. I know I've done that to others. Others will likely do it to me. God Bless. We can all find our way and we will all fine our understanding someday....
Sometimes we take even the hardest punches on the chin with little to no complaining, that those around us wonder if those punches are even that painful. Your comment sums it up nicely. It's what I've felt all along but not being able to come up with the words myself; you get it, buddy! 👏
What is so hard to understand with this topic? War is a crime and every politics, doctrine and betrayal propoaganda or misleading religion that leads to and fuels war.
Apologies to all his fans but this has to be the worst crucifixion of a fine Irish song I have ever had the misfortune to endure. God rest the Dubliners.

2:21
I almost cry at these lyrics....
'Well I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
But a big cannonball on the fifth of May
Flow my two fine legs from the knees away'
'Ah Teddy me boy', the poor widow cried
'Yer two fine legs were yer mummy's pride
Them old stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all
Why didn't ye run for the big cannonball?'
Sometimes, there's nothing that you do to stop the bad things from happening.
Sometimes, you come to grips with it....but other people can't and they blame your for their lack of understanding.
I know I've done that to others.
Others will likely do it to me.
God Bless.
We can all find our way and we will all fine our understanding someday....

Your comment sums it up nicely. It's what I've felt all along but not being able to come up with the words myself; you get it, buddy! 👏
staggering to think it was written and sung by soldiers 200 years ago
Me and my dad love this song.
I reminds me of Bere Island real Irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪
As a fellow son of the old sod,.. magnificent,Brucie.

I'm listening the full performance, hear the audience booh now and then.
There are things I can't understand, however I try
What is so hard to understand with this topic? War is a crime and every politics, doctrine and betrayal propoaganda or misleading religion that leads to and fuels war.
Super konzert
Wow
For the great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry,
And all their songs are sad.
"...sadly kids are still dying on battlefields all over the world." PEACE in Ukraine! Stop this inhuman war, please!!!
The best
Mrs McGrath is my history teacher. 💀
IRELAND 🇮🇪
ENGLAND 💩

♥️
No está subida al castellano?
He loves Guinness. Who wouldn't
Uncle Ted traci is tellin lies
Republic of Doyle brought me here
Fuck war.
Ask a vet about it ww1 no one’s there Ww2 talk to me
Apologies to all his fans but this has to be the worst crucifixion of a fine Irish song I have ever had the misfortune to endure. God rest the Dubliners.
Its an excellent version of the song
Well done but a corruption of the traditional 200 year-old anti-war song . . . “king of France” changed to “king of America”.
Love this Song...
Wow
