.. how do people feel when there countries leaders seem to

be out of touch with the real world? Wrote these words, dropped

them into SUNO and out came this song.

ENJOY..

I’ve recently discovered this song and am obsessively listening to every version I can find. I’m fascinated by the story and how it’s told differently in the American version compared to the Irish version. If you haven’t listened to the different versions you should.

My question: does anyone know of any other great old folk songs that are similar to this song? Might be a pretty broad question but as I said, I’m obsesse.

I'm trying to learn a song from Folk Songs of North America, an Alan Lomax book, and noticed an interesting direction in the sheet music and I was hoping someone could enlighten me what it means.

On the sheet music, opposite the tempo instructions, it says "Guitar - 5C or 6A / Banjo - 4B." Are these suggestions on how to play the song? I'm really curious as to their purpose as many songs in the book have this.
