Someone probably thinks its an Irish tune just because Plaxnty did a cover version of the song.

This is originally a Scottish song about a lady called Lady Jane Hamilton, wife of John VI, Earl of Cassillis. The "Gypsies" were killed (except for one, who escaped) and Hamilton was imprisoned for the remainder of her life, dying in 1642. Her only crime was to fall in love and run off with a Romany Gypsy. Sad.

Liebe die Musik von Paddy Schmidt. Schade, dass es hier nicht mehr davon gibt.
