When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy .... Ludwig van Beethoven
Arthur McBride is an Irish folk song. It was first collected around 1840 in Limerick, Ireland by Patrick Weston Joyce. Several versions are found in Scotland, Suffolk and Devon - the tunes differing slightly. The song can be narrowly categorized as an anti-recruiting song and more broadly as a protest song. (Wiki)
